The Conversations program makes such a difference in Mom's life. She loves art and music, so the opportunity to spend time enjoying the beautiful Kreeger Museum, seeing and discussing a striking work of art and then listening to a fabulous music program is such a treat. It lifts her spirits and brings her such joy and makes her feel like her old self.

Conversations, a program for individuals with mild to moderate memory disorders and their caregivers, provides a forum for dialogue and connection through art and music. Each hour-long program includes an interactive gallery talk and a musical component. The experience is designed to stimulate reflection, reduce stress, and increase communication and sociability.

The Kreeger Museum will host three sessions in the Spring: February 2nd, April 13th, and June 1st at 11:00 am. We have limited spaces and advance registration is required. Dates will be released after the February session. Please only reserve one space and you will be prompted to fill out the name of both the participant and the caregiver.

If you are an assisted living facility and would like to book a Conversations program for a group of residents, please contact [email protected] to schedule a session.
