SPARK!

Thursday, March 12, 2026

11:00 AM – 12:30 PM | Free

Advance Registration Required (Space is Limited)

SPARK! at Rochester Art Center is a welcoming, art-centered program designed for people experiencing early to mid-stage memory loss and their care partners. Through guided gallery experiences and creative activities, participants enjoy meaningful social connection, engaging conversation, and uplifting moments of discovery that support well-being and self-expression.

Advance registration is required and space is limited. Participants living with memory loss must attend with a caregiver, and care partners are encouraged to actively participate in all aspects of the program. We strive to create an environment that is comfortable, safe, and responsive to participants’ physical and sensory needs.

Presented in partnership with the SPARK! Alliance, a collaborative network of cultural organizations across Wisconsin and Minnesota, this program celebrates the abilities, perspectives, and joy that remain vibrant in people living with memory loss. Together, we focus on enriching experiences rather than limitations, creating space for connection, creativity, and community.
