From Pascale Godbout, a Montreal based art therapist with the Alzheimer’s Society of Canada:
Inspired from the program in New York, Meet me at MoMA, last fall we started a pilot project of monthly visits adapted for people with Alzheimer’s and their caregivers, at the Musée des beaux arts de Montréal (Montreal museum of fine arts). The program consists of a one hour visit to the museum and a one hour art making workshop. The project was developed with Amanda Beattie, who is specializes in art and museum education and partnerships, as well with the program Musée en Partage. It’s wonderful to have a partnership with the cultural community, and all the educators involved.
