    Description

    OMA-Opening Minds thru Art

    Opening Minds through Art (OMA) is an intergenerational art program for people with dementia. It is aimed at promoting their social engagement, autonomy, and dignity through the experience of creative self-expression. The intergenerational weekly art program is implemented in group sessions: up to about a dozen people with dementia do art with the assistance of trained staff members and volunteers who work with them on a one-to-one basis. The art making sessions culminate in a virtual gallery exhibition celebrating the artisits' accompliments while educating the public about the creative capabilities of people with dementia.

    OMA's mission: "Building bridges across age and cognitive barriers thorough art".
