Connections: A Celebration of Creativity, Communication, & Community was introduced on September 19 at the Kilton Public Library Gallery in West Lebanon, NH, with an inspiring reception celebrating the artwork of Kendal at Hanover residents living with Alzheimer’s or another type of dementia.
Guests enjoyed 30 vibrant paintings that speak to the universal desire to connect.
“Creativity lives in all of us, regardless of memory loss,” shared Erica Myers, Memory Care Resource Coordinator at Kendal at Hanover.
We were honored by the heartfelt remarks of Howard Goodrow, Executive Director of the Vermont Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association, who reminded us that Alzheimer’s affects memory, but it doesn’t erase the person or their ability to express themselves.
Neely McNulty, Hood Museum Curator of Education, provided insights on how Art opens a space where we can meet beyond words and beyond memory.
Connections is on display through October 30.
