we have a fabulous art program called "memories in the making." all of the pieces are created by individuals with dementia or alzheimer's and many of them are incredibly beautiful. they include stories about what the artist was thinking or feeling as they painted and many end up being memories they thought they had lost until they saw them appear suddenly on their paper.
every year we pour through hundreds of submissions to select the handful that will be part of that year's collection. the staff gets two days to judge the artwork and often times they're my favorite days of the year.
anything for a reminder of why we do what we do and who we're serving when we come to work each day.
