Dementia-friendly Tour

The CRMA now offers dementia-friendly gallery tours. Partnering with the Christ & Suzy DeWolf Family Innovation Center for Aging & Dementia, the docents are adapting their typical guided tours to tailor the experience to those living with dementia and their caregivers. 

How these tours are different than standard guided tours: 
•    The pace is a bit slower.
•    The language is clearer and simpler.
•    Participants are encouraged to share their personal experiences and connections to the artwork.
•    Group sizes are smaller.
•    Docents are trained and certified Friends of Dementia.

If you are living with dementia, or you are a care partner to someone who is, you are welcome to join the dementia-friendly tours on the last Friday of each month at 2pm. Admission is free for individuals living with dementia and their care partners. If you have a larger group, please contact us to find out how we can accommodate you.
