On November 14, 2020, Art on the Mind: Ten Years of Creative Aging, a new exhibition celebrating the tenth anniversary of Creative Aging programs, opened at the Frye Art Museum. Since 2010, the Frye has been at the forefront of museum programming for people living with dementia and care partners. Featuring artwork from program participants, Art on the Mind: Ten Years of Creative Aging illustrates the success of arts engagement in bringing joy, respect, and dignity to people living with dementia while destigmatizing the disease.
The Frye hosted a virtual opening for Art on the Mind: Ten Years of Creative Aging on November 19. We hope you enjoy this recording of the virtual opening, which features a peek at the exhibition, a poetry reading, and reflections from community members on their experiences in the programs.
