Hebrew Health Care's art program, A Fresh Canvas: An Alzheimer's Arts Program opening reception will be held on Thursday, April 24th from 5:00 pm-7:00 pm.  The reception is free of charge and is open to the general public.  

Space is limited; please RSVP to Madelene Francese at 860.523.3994 or mfrancese@hebrewhealthcare.org

A Fresh Canvas exhibit demonstrates the boundless potential for ongoing human development despite physical, emotional or cognitive challenges. 

A Fresh Canvas: An Alzheimer's Arts Program provides creative expression through art therapy, music therapy and dance-movement therapy to people with progressive dementia in Hebrew Health Care's skilled nursing unit and adult day center.  The goal of Fresh Canvas is to allow participants to use the creative process involved in artistic expression to resolve conflicts, develop interpersonal skills, reduce stress, and increase self-esteem and self-awareness. Fresh Canvas has been funded since 2005 by the Bella and Max Shulman Family Fund at the Jewish Community Foundation of Greater Hartford.
