How to host Art Without Boundaries™

If there's not an AWB Chapter opening in your area,
(check here) you can schedule a traveling
MnemeTherapist to come for a "Short Term." That's
what we call a week long visit where the
MnemeTherapist will be able to service 40-50 clients.

You can use the paintings for a fund raiser, art show or
just framed them and proudly display them. What a
great marketing tool!

In the meantime, if you like, we will be recruiting in your
area to find a qualified artist to service your organization
on a regular basis.

The letter below is from Carla Heritage, former
administrator of the Riverside Living Center about their
short term experience:

"I was sold on your program before you got here,but after I witnessed the first
session I was amazed beyond words.  I’m not sure I can adequately express how
Art Without Boundaries has impacted our facility.

The residents have found a sense of purpose as they created these wonderful
paintings. The attention they have received has given them true joy and fulfillment.  
These elders are in the winter of their life and this experience has brought a breath
of springtime amid the doldrums of those winter days.  

Our family members are touched as they see the smiles on the faces of their loved
ones.  Not only are they surprised and amazed at this newfound talent but the
paintings give them priceless treasures to hold onto.

The staff members were spellbound as they watched you work.  Many couldn’t tear
themselves away from the observation window for fear they would miss
something.  This opened the door to their own creativity as they watched you work.  
Their enthusiasm has been sparked as they have seen what our residents can
do.  

Many caregivers are still experiencing changes in behavior from once difficult
residents that had an opportunity to paint with you.    

This program has been an invaluable means of connecting the community to this
facility. People are coming into the facility to see what everyone is talking about.  
The media coverage about Art Without Boundaries has given us numerous
marketing opportunities.

The money I have spent on Art Without Boundaries has returned ten fold in so
many different ways. I want to thank you for sharing your gifts with our residents,
staff, family members, and community.  I want you to know that I would be more
than happy to answer any questions others may have about Art Without
Boundaries and to share with them the joy this experience has brought to
Riverside Living Center."

This short video is a wonderful example of improvement in receptive aphasia,
the ability to understand the spoken word; expressive aphasia, the ability to
use words correctly and agnosia, being able to interpret the senses, in this
case, sight.

Listen to Irving's confused sentences while painting and then how clearly he
spoke after the session. We were excited that his wife was visiting and we
could document her enthusiastic assessment of the session.
