The Alzheimer’s Association Memories in the Making® program offers creative art expression for individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early to the middle stages of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. The program is delivered at our Lake Oswego office, at 5285 Meadows Rd #451, Lake Oswego, OR 97035.
Memories in the Making® participants create imaginative and colorful watercolor paintings. Most have no prior art experience. The painting process provides an opportunity to engage socially and reminisce about meaningful life moments, individuals or personal interests. Participants share stories about their art if they wish in an emotionally safe and supportive environment.
