SPARK! Creative Engagement Programs for People with Memory Loss and their Care Partners

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2026 | 11:00am-12:30pm
MCHS  | 910 N. Dr. MLK Jr. Drive 

SPARK! is a creative engagement program for people with early to mid-stage memory loss and their care partners.

Programs are held monthly on the first Tuesday of each month at 11:00am.

The theme for Tuesday, February 3rd is Artist in Focus: Clarence Boyce Monegar. We will explore the five pieces of Monegar artwork in the MCHS Collection. 

“Although he had some early lessons, Clarence was essentially a self taught artist.  Gifted with a photographic memory, he had initially been trained by his artist mother in the way of their culture.  She taught Clarence to observe keenly, pay acute attention and always be watchful.  Indian culture rewarded these traits.  Despite the distinctive use of color and compositional detail he exhibited, it still remains that he was caught in Euro American artists’ attitude that Native American artists needed to paint within the Native American Indian romantic niche. Clarence Monegar’s work is recognized for his white birches, pines, wildlife and fowl.” – Pat (Susa) Sievers

Registration Required: Space is limited to 20 participants. Contact Olivia, Programs Manager at ohoff@milwaukeehistory.net or 414-409-9563.
