What is Memory Studio?

Join Capitol Hill Village, Artists Nephelie Andonyadis and Donna Jonte, and rotating teaching artists and musicians for a an art and music workshop for individuals living with memory loss and their care partners. This workshop series will include live music, movement and art activities inspired by work from the Phillips Collection. Lunch and refreshments will be served.

Memory Studio is the brainchild our CHV member, Patrick McClintock, who was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia a few years ago.

Enjoy a creative environment without judgement, where the goal is to be present, have fun, and to focus on what folks can do rather than what they can't.

No formal dementia diagnosis is required. Anyone who is experiencing memory loss or cognitive challenges, especially if those challenges are changing the way they engage with others, are welcome to participate. Transportation assistance may be available to those within the CHV footprint.

Attendees must be able to independently participate or have their care partners with them.Our intake process will determine if the care partner is required to stay or take respite outside of the program.

There is no online registration for this program. Those interested must contact CHV for an assessment of eligibility and an intake interview.
