OPENING MINDS THROUGH ART (OMA)
This award-winning Scripps inter-generational art program allows people with dementia to create vibrant works of abstract art inviting us into a world ofbold colors and exciting designs.
Our goal at The OMA Center is to help create a society that values older adults with dementia. We achieve this by building genuine friendships between people with dementia and volunteers as they engage in art-making. Additionally, we offer education, respite, and fellowship for caregivers. Our goals are achieved by:
• Providing creative self-expression opportunities that promote the social engagement, autonomy, and dignity of people with dementia;
• Providing staff and volunteers with opportunities to build intimate relationships with people with dementia;
• Educating the general public on the creative self-expression capacities of people with dementia through exhibitions of their artwork;
• Contributing to the scholarly literature on dementia care and the arts.
We invite you to attend the November 14th grand opening of this special exhibit and meet the amazing artists in this award-winning program. View opportunities to get involved in our OMA Center here.

MEMORIES OF NORTHERN GHANA
