Today, DATA visited Good Samaritan Health & Rehab and spent time painting trees and creating art with the residents 🌳 It was a meaningful time connecting with residents, getting creative, and keeping our minds active together ✨ 🎨

Today, DATA went to Mary Queen of Angels to create water lily inspired paintings. We love talking with the residents and keeping them cognitively engaged with art! 🪷🖌️

We had an amazing time creating beautiful Earth-themed paintings with residents! Watching their faces light up as they brought their artistic visions to life was truly inspiring.

What a colorful day! Residents dove into a creative adventure with crayons, watercolors, and markers, filling the room with laughter and beautiful artwork that sparked wonderful conversations.

Spring came alive through our flower painting session! Residents painted vibrant blooms while sharing stories and memories, creating a space filled with joy, creativity, and connection.

Our very first event was unforgettable! We painted together, laughed together, and were deeply moved as residents opened their hearts, sharing incredible stories and wisdom that left us all inspired.

The Dementia Art Therapy Alliance at Vanderbilt was officially established, marking the beginning of our journey to bring art, healing, and connection to those affected by dementia.
