Partner with Arts & Minds

Over 250,000 New Yorkers are living with Alzheimer’s or other dementias and an estimated 500,000 family members, friends and neighbors provide care. Arts & Minds aims to make the world a more dementia friendly place for this ever growing number of affected people by partnering with museums in and around New York City.

We partner with museums to provide training for education and visitor services staff to welcome individuals with dementia and their care partners. We are also available to plan and implement pop-up Arts & Minds programs at your museum staffed by our team of expert museum educators and teaching artists.

If you have questions or would like to partner with Arts & Minds, please reach out to registration@artsandminds.org and a member of our team will be in touch.
