Dementia and the Arts – Busting Stigmas By Highlighting Possibilities
Dementia and the Arts™ educational videos were developed to lift the voices of people living with dementia while raising awareness of their abilities. Mary Crescenzo and Lori La Bey Co-host the program and discuss the whens and whys of how each Artist got involved with art, along with what they get out of creating it, and other people’s reactions to it. Individuals share the techniques they use, how they adapt as the disease progresses, and how their emotions are expressed through their work.
We know Dementia and the Arts know no boundaries and feel it’s important to be inclusive of all people no matter what form of dementia they are living with. We work hard to accommodate time zone differences around the world so we don’t exclude people due to their location.
