SPARK!

SPARK! is a creative engagement program for people with early to mid-stage memory loss and their care partners.
SPARK! programs feature interactive exhibit experiences in a welcoming environment. There is a 30-minute social time with refreshments before each program for participants to become comfortable and socialize before we begin.
