Opening Minds through Art (OMA) is an award-winning, evidence-based, intergenerational art-making program for people with dementia. Its failure-free program provides opportunities for creative self-expression and social engagement for people with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of neurocognitive disorders. Developed at Miami University’s Scripps Gerontology Center, the program is grounded in person-centered care principles with a mission to build bridges across age and cogni¬tive barriers through art. OMA sessions are led by trained facilitators. Each elder is paired with a trained volunteer who provides guidance during the art-making process but who makes no aesthetic decisions for the artist. The art-making sessions culminate in a gallery exhibition celebrating the art¬ists’ accomplishments while educating the public about the creative capacities of people with dementia. Awards: • Designated as a “Program of Distinction” by Generations United • Endorsed by the Ohio Department of Aging as a Quality Improvement Project • Best Practice award from Leading Age Ohio Keyword: Shared Site, Program of Distinction
