SUMMARY:Mid-Town Social
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, April 9th\, 2025 from 5:00 – 7:00 PM at the Alzheimer Society of Toronto Head Office located at 20 Eglinton Ave W\, 16th Floor. \nMid-Town Social focuses on social wellness for people with Dementia and their care partners. In this series\, we create purposeful connections among people who are on similar journeys while engaging in a variety of engaging activities. \nThis month\, Jano Cortijo will facilitate a art appreciate program with a focus on Nature. We will marvel at the wonder of forms and colors found in nature. We will engage in slow and careful observation of various works in different techniques to appreciate and discuss how artists have captured flowers\, trees\, fruits and gardens throughout time. \nJano Cortijo is an arts educator whose work finds him engaging audiences of various ages\, abilities\, and backgrounds in museums\, classrooms\, community centers\, and online. Straying far from the canon to elevate artists and works that have been excluded or erased from mainstream conversations\, Cortijo encourages critical discussion while connecting the participants’ individual histories and stories with the art and art makers. \nJoin us with your curiosity and come ready to share thoughts and ideas. \nPhoto Credit: Alfred Henry Maurer\, Flowers\, 1912 Oil on paper\, 21 x 18 inches
