On April 15, @artzphilly hosted Expressing Our Minds, the second event in the Arts on the Mind Festival. Held at the Woodmere Art Museum, guests of all cognitive abilities sampled a variety of activities that help enhance the well-being of people living with dementia and their care-givers. Led by professionally-trained ARTZ facilitators, the sessions were inclusive, interactive, and joyful.

#ArtsOnTheMind continues: Join us tomorrow on 4/21, as well as 4/30, 5/13, and 5/15 to explore the vital role the arts have in developing and maintaining a mind as it ages, and the power of the arts to care for others’ minds with dignity and respect.

THE SEASON`S HOTTEST CLASSICAL MIGHT HAVE BEEN THIS FOUR-HAND PIANO RECITAL — The Jonathan Biss-Mitsuko Uchida concert sold out last June. The duo delivered profoundly beautiful Schubert.
