Brilliant Minds Symposium @ FIA
Description
The Brilliant Minds Symposium is a FREE interactive workshop dedicated to exploring the intersection of Arts and Cognitive Health. This unique event aims to demonstrate how creativity and the arts can enhance self-worth, overall well-being, and contribute positively to brain and body health.
The morning session focuses on caregivers and care partners of individuals with dementia and other life-limiting illnesses. The afternoon session encourages anyone in the community to explore brain health and the benefits of integrating the arts into daily routines.
Participants in both sessions will engage in a variety of creative activities. There is no need for any participant to have any previous experience in the arts.
At the end of the afternoon session, attendees will enjoy art-making demonstrations featuring Hot Glass Work, Ceramics, Printmaking, Neuropathic Watercolor Painting, and Gallery Tours.
