Program

Our Opening Minds through Art (OMA) and Music and Memories classes pair participants with trained instructors and volunteers in creative, meaningful experiences. Through art-making and music, participants are encouraged to express themselves, connect with others, and explore their creativity in ways that are personally meaningful.

OMA and Music and Memories classes are currently offered in Tacoma, Edgewood, and the Key Peninsula. An art show with all participants is held on the last day of each session.

Join us to enjoy some fresh air and exercise while socializing with others in the memory loss and dementia community.

Memory Walks are held every Wednesday at 10:30am.
