Participation in arts and culture programming can improve the quality of life for people
living with Alzheimer’s and their care partners. Artists for Alzheimer’s® (ARTZ)
is a 501(c) (3) initiative of the Hearthstone Alzheimer’s Foundation, founded in 2001, with the purpose
of enhancing the cultural and creative life of people living with Alzheimer’s disease.
ARTZ draws on the support
and collaboration of artists and cultural institutions, as a collective resource, to share, educate and inspire. ARTZ has developed Alzheimer’s-specific cultural access programs with some
of the worlds most renowned and respected cultural institutions, including the Louvre in Paris, the Museum of Modern Art in New York City,
the Kohler Arts Center in Wisconsin, the National
Gallery of Australia, the Big Apple Circus, and the Tribeca Film Institute, among others. The ARTZ network has
been developed in Boston , New York , Stuttgart , London ,
Melbourne , Madrid , and Paris . In Massachusetts , ARTZ has developed the
ARTZ Massachusetts Museum Network, a free, weekly interactive tour experience at Peabody Essex Museum , the deCordova Museum & Sculpture
Park , the Fuller Craft Museum , the National Heritage Museum , and the Museum of Natural
History at Harvard University . In addition ARTZ partners with the Coolidge
Corner Theatre Foundation in Brookline to produce “Meet Me at the Coolidge…and make memories,” a
program using iconic clips of classic films to stimulate participants’ dialogue and reminiscence, “Meet Me at
the Coolidge…and make memories” held four times a year. It is the first program of its kind in the United States
