JM Journeys

Participants with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias and their care partners are invited to join a lively and creative program, led by guest teaching artist Yurby Aquino, that uses movement and music to explore the exhibition Draw Them In, Paint Them Out: Trenton Doyle Hancock Confronts Philip Guston.
