Memory Studio is an Art and Music Workshop for Individuals with Memory Loss with Respite Services for Care Partners.  It will be offered most Saturdays through July.

 

Join Capitol Hill Village and Teaching Artist Nephelie Andonyadis for a program of music and art. This workshop series will include live music, movement and art activities inspired by work from the Phillips Collection. Lunch will be served. 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 and causing concern for care partners, are welcome to participate. Transportation assistance may be available to those within the CHV footprint.

 

Care Partners are welcome but not required to stay or participate.  Programming for care partners will include a rotating set of supports including an optional support group and opportunities for nurture, like massage. Care Partners are free to use the time in whatever way fills their cup on any given day. 

 

There is no online registration for this program.  Those interested must contact CHV for an assessment of eligibility and an intake interview.  Call 202-543-1778 or email [email protected] and ask for Judy.
