Spring Fling
Spring Fling features 142 pieces of art of all media – 2-D and 3-D – from 55 artists. All pieces are for sale.
The show also features 28 paintings from 24 artists who are in the Memory Matters Utah program. Memory Matters Utah, formerly the Alzheimer’s and Dementia Society Utah, is a nonprofit organization serving individuals with dementia and their caregivers. The exhibited art is a part of the “Fun Art” activity.
Research has shown that Alzheimer’s disease does not affect the creative brain cells in an individual. If a patient can do anything creative they feel more successful, and consequently they are happier, more relaxed and satisfied with themselves.
