Alzheimer’s Greater Los Angeles hosted
their fifth Annual Memories
in the Making (MiM)
exhibition and auction, June 15, 2017 at Building Bridges Art
Exchange (Bergamot Station Arts Center, 2525 Michigan Ave, Unit
F2, Santa Monica, CA.) This
unique fine arts program offers creative and non-verbal
communication through art, enhancing connections with families,
professional caregivers, and others. The MiM program
is a gallery exhibition and auction showcasing the amazing
artwork created by people in the mid-to-late stages of
Alzheimer’s. It is one of ALZGLA’s unique arts4ALZ programs
that helps provide insight into the thoughts and memories that
participants are often challenged in communicating. MiM is
made possible through the generosity of Susan Disney Lord,
Abigail Disney, Tim Disney, and Roy P. Disney in loving memory
of their mother, Patricia Disney, who was an artist.
