The current exhibit features artwork created during “Memories in the Making” classes hosted by the Alzheimer’s Association of Central and North Florida. This program allows participants the ability to express themselves through art, and each piece is personalized with the creator’s own history, thoughts and emotions. The goal of this gallery is to raise awareness of Alzheimer’s and connect the community with a disease that touches us all.
