Art In The Moment: Good Relations
April 7 & 21
1:30 PM - 3:30 PM
Art in the Moment is a monthly program by the Missoula Art Museum (MAM), in partnership with the Alzheimer’s Association, designed to foster connection and companionship through art for individuals with early-stage memory loss and their care partners.
Now in its seventh year, this in-person program is led by MAM Docents, France Auvrey-Stiritz or Rosemay Rinaldi and teaching artist Bev Beck Glueckert, allowing participants to view and create art together.
Starting this year, MAM will host Art in the Moment twice a month on the 1st and 3rd Mondays. Each month will focus on a single artist, with unique projects featured at each session (schedule may vary due to holidays).
No cost to participate. Please register in advance. Call 406.318.8242 or email montana@alz.org to register.
This month's programs focus Good Relations: Contemporary Native Artists in the MAM Collection
