About Arts Fusion

Arts Fusion offers a variety of creative and cultural opportunities for those affected by memory loss in the Alzheimer’s Association Central and Western Virginia Chapter area. The mission of Arts Fusion is to create an environment through the arts that promotes creative expression, interpersonal connections, and enjoyment for persons with dementia. Arts Fusion also extends arts opportunities to caregivers and family members of those with memory loss as a way to reduce stress and reestablish connections with their loved ones. In addition, Arts Fusion supports intergenerational programming and provides volunteer opportunities for persons in the early stages of dementia. Find out more about our programs and the regions we serve by following the links to the left.
