Art in Mind at The James Museum is an innovative initiative that offers a discussion-based in-gallery experience for adults with Alzheimer’s and other dementias. Developed in collaboration with the University of South Florida’s Judy Genshaft Honors College, specially trained museum docents and undergraduate students facilitate an hour-long tour designed to promote expression, connection and an overall positive experience through the exploration of art.

Art in Mind is made possible through philanthropy. You will make it possible to create a space for connection, expression and enjoyment through art. Your gift allows The James to serve both adults with dementia and their caregivers, making a difference in their lives. The techniques used for Art in Mind can also be used for individuals with learning disabilities. The video on this page shows the impact on students from Nina Harris Exceptional School.

Thanks to the generous support of an anonymous donor, your gift to support Art in Mind will be matched dollar for dollar, doubling your impact!
