Arts in Mind

Arts in Mind (AIM) provides free arts engagements for adults living with mild to moderate dementia and their care partners to create art, find community, share experiences and to foster a sense of well-being. Programs are free to attend and provided onsite at the Mesa Arts Center in one of our state-of-the-art studio classrooms.

Classes are typically 90 minutes in length. Programs begin with a 30-minute social time to enjoy refreshments and conversation. Following social time, we offer 60-minute artmaking programs with both the caregiver and loved one led by  highly qualified and trained teaching artists and a team of dedicated volunteers for added support. 

All Arts in Mind staff and volunteers have participated in dementia-friendly training via the Dementia Friendly Mesa Program with Oakwood Creative Care and training with Banner Alzheimer's Institute. Participants are asked to please complete a post survey, upon completion of class, about their experience to help measure program success and help with reports to funders.
