Through facilitated discussions, individuals with early stage dementia or Alzheimer's disease have the opportunity to create meaningful connections with works of art.
Join LACMA teaching artist Elonda Norris, in partnership with Alzheimer's LA, for engaging, fun, and free art chats! Elonda will guide care partners and persons living with dementia or Alzheimer’s to look at and discuss works of art from the museum's collection—from the comfort of your own home, or in person on select Tuesdays.
The program is offered once a month on Tuesdays. Virtual sessions start at 1 pm. In-person sessions take place at 10 am before the museum is open to the public. Both types of sessions are open for individuals with early stage dementia or Alzheimer’s and their care partners.

Create+Collaborate is a free 10-session virtual printmaking class designed for older adults (ages 65+) who are seeking to learn new skills and join a community of peers. Through active participation, be inspired by LACMA’s collection, experiment with different printmaking techniques, and contribute to the collaborative spirit of the class.
The design of the program supports participants' discovery of art as a place of inspiration, intellectual stimulation, personal reflection, and social engagement. Each 10-session class culminates with a virtual art show of the students’ work. This celebratory event allows friends and family to see the accomplishments of all the participants and bring a sense of pride and belonging to the students.
Participants will need to have a computer or tablet with internet and access to Zoom. Each participant will receive an art kit of art materials selected by the teaching artist before the session begins.
