ARTZ in the Making is a hands-on art-making program whose mission is to generate community, creativity, and connection. We are seeking trained artist-facilitators who will create opportunities for self-expression via art-making for residents living with dementia in care communities and people living with dementia in their own homes. There may also be opportunities for dementia care pairs (people living with dementia and their care partners) to participate together. Most programs occur monthly at a range of venues across Philadelphia and surrounding counties.
