Memory Studio

Memory Studio is an arts-based program for people with mild to moderate memory loss and their care partners. Each workshop introduces a new professional artist who works in visual art, music, dance, or drama. The workshops engage participants in creative and innovative ways, inspiring couples to create new and meaningful memories together.

Artful Living for a Stronger Mind

Boost wellness, sharpen your mind, and lift your mood through the power of art.

The arts are important for brain health. Engaging in art reduces stress levels, increases immunity, and activates brain systems important for language and memory. All participants report that their moods improve during art workshops.

Creativity, Community & Healthy Habits

Each month, workshops will be held at the Bob Bové Neuroscience Institute at HonorHealth, the Granite Reef Senior Center, and the Via Linda Senior Center. All are welcome for the workshops at each location. It is recommended that you sign up for the whole series, as consistent attendance helps establish community, friendships, and healthy habits!

Memory Studio is held on the second, third, and fourth Wednesday of each month, with certain exceptions. Thanks to our generous sponsors, Memory Studio is free with an RSVP.

To RSVP, email Learning@ScottsdaleArts.org or YFlores@ScottsdaleArts.org, or call 480-874-4654, ext. 1805, with participant names and the dates for which you would like to register.

You can register for multiple dates at a time!
