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.
