ARTZ: Community Inclusion from A - Z!

.

.

ARTZ is an organization that links artists and cultural institutions to people

living with dementia and their care partners. Influenced by science and sociology,

ARTZ uses artistic  experiences as keys to unlock creativity, create new memories,

strengthen and develop relationships, and enrich lives in fundamental ways.

ARTZ recognizes the wholeness that is inherent in each person, regardless of a

diagnosis. We celebrate each person's capacity to participate in the journey of life.

We believe that access to creative expression is essential to our human experience.
