Reframing Care: Mindfulness + Art at The Phillips Collection offers resources, support, and artful engagement for care partners and their loved ones living with memory loss.

Mary Fridley presents an interactive workshop: The Joy of Dementia (You Gotta Be Kidding!), designed for those interested in building a new and more positive relationship to dementia. Learn how to create environments in which care partners and people living with dementia are supported to take risks and grow. Use dementia diagnosis as a starting point for creativity, hope, and even joy. Learn to use improvisational play, creative exercises, and philosophical/performed conversation as tools for navigating the dementia experience and life itself.

Mary Fridley is a faculty member of the East Side Institute in NYC, co-creator and leader of The Joy of Dementia (You Gotta Be Kidding!), and coordinator of Reimaging Dementia: A Creative Coalition for Justice.

Free, includes museum admission. Registration required by May 1.
