OPENING MINDS THROUGH ART (OMA)
This award-winning Scripps inter-generational art program allows people with dementia to create vibrant works of abstract art inviting us into a world of bold colors and exciting designs.
Our goal at The OMA Center is to help create a society that values older adults with dementia. We achieve this by building genuine friendships between people with dementia and volunteers as they engage in art-making. Additionally, we offer education, respite, and fellowship for caregivers.
We invite you to attend the November 14th grand opening of this special exhibit and meet the amazing artists in this award-winning program.
