The Artwell program is developed and delivered in partnership with the Alzheimer Society of York Region. Artwell is a series of interactive artmaking programs supporting emotional connections, encouraging memory recall, experimentation, and gentle social interaction among individuals living with dementia.

During this workshop we will visit some spaces inside the gallery that were part of the McMichaels’ home and explore some landscape paintings. The group will continue outdoors to enjoy a brief walk, look at and – if weather permits - photograph (with iPADS) the landscapes on the McMichael grounds. Inside the studio, we will have a short break before creating our own watercolour landscape paintings!

Accessible Program for Adults Living with Exceptionalities

This December, join us to celebrate the past year with a creative social session. We will explore the gallery and grounds at the McMichael as we find inspiration together. Back in the studio we will use our findings to create a personal painting inspired by what the McMichael means to us! Participants are encouraged to bring their favourite artworks from the past year to share with their peers in an exhibition-style celebration.
