Memories in the Making Art Auction will be on Thursday June 9th, 2011 at INVESCO Fields at Mile High Stadium-so mark your calendars! The Alzheimer's Association Memories in the Making® is a creative art expression program for individuals with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias. Even after people with dementia have lost the ability to use words, they are often able to express thoughts and emotions, and are able to share memories through painting with watercolors. The experience offers an opportunity for the essence of who they are and what they care about to shine through.
Beautiful artwork is created by some of our participants on Monday and Tuesday mornings in our art class. The Alzheimer's Association receives 3,800 art pieces from all communities and a jury of professional artists select only 74 pieces for the auction, and only 45 pieces are selected as gifts. JADP is honored to have nine pieces selected for the auction! We have many very talented artists who attend JADP, and we are so proud of the work they do! Congratulations to those participants, and thank you for sharing your talents!
Bill Herzog had two selected titled "The Barn" and "Coorsfield"
Réal Bedard had one selected titled "Sunset over the Rockies"
Mary Lycas had one selected titled "Daybreak over the Neighborhood" and she had three pieces selected as gifts for special events or various speakers.
