Opening Minds through Art is an intergenerational art program for people with dementia. OMA operates with the goal of utilizing the skills an individual has instead of focusing on the skills that are impaired.

In each OMA session, an elder with dementia is partnered with a younger intern or volunteer who will support the elder throughout the art making process. Relationships form as art is created, offering a rewarding and enriching experience for both the artist and the volunteer. Our staff and volunteers are there every step of the process, and no art skills are required!
