Meet me at the museum...The unifying effect of art

Dear ARTZ Donor,

We would like to express our deepest gratitude for your generous support of our organization. Your gift has had a significant impact on our ability to continue our mission and promote art and creativity to people with Alzheimer's disease and their caregivers.

Thanks to your contribution, we have been able to continue to offer museum and online tours for approximately 100 people with the disease. Your commitment to ARTZ is a testament to your belief in the importance of art in our society. Your generosity gives us the encouragement and resources to continue to offer enriching and stimulating activities for people with cancer and their caregivers.

Here is an excerpt from the feedback we receive:

 "M. told me she felt confident and did not hesitate to speak up. She shared with me her memories of a trip to Asia prompted by the visit on this theme. She even picked up a photo album from a trip to Thailand to show me. She is really pleased with the online tours and the level of interaction. She told me "often we are made to do silly things because we think that because we are sick we can't talk and it will be too difficult for us, whereas here it was really good, sometimes difficult but very interesting!"

"It seemed like every time I saw her, her confidence was reaffirmed. I think she appreciated being asked for feedback. She liked that we both commented on things together after the mic was turned off, and would joke with me a lot.... In addition to volunteering to participate with an open mic during the sessions.

"C. really enjoys the organized visits. She is an active participant and responds to the remarks and comments of the other recipients in the group. She gets a little frustrated when she searches for words, but her mood is always good. She is happy to see the volunteer arrive and often extends the conversation after the session. She seems to be trying to delay the time of departure. She says she is curious about art and discovery."

Your contribution has directly contributed to the success of our initiatives, and we are honored to have had your support. 

Your support inspires and encourages us to promote access to art for people with Alzheimer's disease.

We hope you will continue to follow our activities and support us in our future efforts. Your commitment is truly essential to achieving our vision of a society where art and creativity are valued and accessible to people with the disease and their caregivers.

With our deep gratitude,

The ARTZ Team
