Art and Dementia Programs

MoMA has been working with older adults through in-gallery programs and off-site visits to senior centers throughout New York City for decades. Today, the Museum serves this audience via multiple avenues, including programs for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia and their care partners. “Meet Me at MoMA,” a monthly discussion-based gallery program, is one iteration. It is open to any individual in the early to middle stages of dementia and their family or professional care partners, the majority of whom still live at home. The program always takes place on Tuesday afternoons, the day that MoMA is closed to the general public, in order to reduce the number of possible distractions and to create an intimate learning environment. At this point, nearly 50 pairs, or around 100 people, attend each month. Once in the Museum, participants are divided into groups of roughly fourteen to sixteen people, after which they are taken into the galleries for a tour lasting about 90 minutes. Specially trained educators lead tours in both the collection galleries and special exhibitions, focusing on only four or five artworks to allow time for comprehensive, in-depth discussion.
