Meet Me at the MoMA is an art program utilizing prints, sketches, and photography from the Museum of Modern Art. An art lecture series will accompany all art modules in the Meet Me at the MoMA program. Residents will enjoy working with art in different mediums and have the opportunity to engage in intellectual conversations about art history, the artists and their works. Art alone can be fun and experiential but is not limited to just an artistic endeavour, but residents will also enjoy the many health benefits associated with art and will be encouraged and supported in their artistic expression and creativity.

This is a program designed to engage all resident populations: Independent Living, Assisted Living and Memory Care. Families are welcome to join their loved ones who reside in Memory Care to experience Art first hand.
