About the Event

Our OMA (Opening Minds Through Art) Program participants will have their finished works on exhibit through February.


Opening Minds through Art (OMA) is an award-winning, evidence-based, intergenerational art-making program for people living with dementia. It was developed at Scripps Gerontology Center, an Ohio Center of Excellence at Miami University, in 2007. People living with dementia (the artists) are paired with volunteers who are trained to rely on imagination instead of memory and focus on remaining strengths instead of lost skills. OMA enables people living with dementia to assume new roles as artists and teachers and leave a legacy of beautiful artwork.


Showing: December 5 - February 28

Reception: December 5th from 6-8pm


Gallery FREE & open to the public:

THURS - SAT 12 - 6pm
