One of our Opening Minds through Art (OMA) participants had fun learning about an American artist, Jean-Michel Basquiat and his artistic style at one of our recent art classes. Participants get a chance to learn some art history while creating their own unique piece of art.
Join us for OMA sessions in person, at St. Mark's Lutheran Church by The Narrows in Tacoma or Mountain View Community Center in Edgewood for FREE! The art classes are for those living with dementia and other cognitive challenges. No experience necessary. Each class is a stand-alone class and participants will get to take home a painting and mat frame.
Contact us at dementiaservices@lcsnw.org or 253-272-8433.

Music and Memories supports people living with dementia and their care partners to engage creatively and joyfully in musical activities.

Make Cards & Ornaments for Seniors
Looking for a creative and safe way to help our community?
The COVID pandemic has been challenging for each and every one of us. It has brought even more isolation to our seniors, making it more difficult to connect with them. Santa for Seniors is collecting homemade cards and holiday ornaments to give to our isolated seniors. Card and ornament kits are available. For more information, email Teri McKeown at tmckeown@lcsnw.org
