Dementia and the Arts is an Educational Panel where all levels of artists and all types are welcome. Our goal is to elevate panelists work and ability to create beauty in many forms. They will share examples of various types of art they participate in, how, and why they started, what they have learned, and what they personally get out of making art. Panelists, do not have to attend all sessions.
As you will see from the sample video above, conversations are comfortable, casual, and fascinating. We have so much to learn from one another. All recordings will be prerecorded and published to Alzheimer’s Speaks YouTube channel with a specific playlist channel for easy access. Each episode will be pushed out on Alzheimer’s Speaks social media channels as well.
Anyone living with dementia interested in participating, please reach out to Lori La Bey via email, or Private message her on FaceBook

Last Friday I went to the book launch of two friends Nancy Chakrin and Laurie Ellis-Young, at the Marsh, in Minnetonka. Their book “FRIENDSHIP the Art of the Practice,” is absolutely incredible! It is a celebration of Friendship at its finest. The photography is magical and a gift in and of itself. Nancy Chakrin has captured Laurie Ellis-Young and others in exquisite yoga poses in interesting locations throughout the world. Beautiful quotes which reflect friendship, are positioned a long side each photograph. All this for under $10.00.
This is a fabulous gift which has the quality of a high-priced table top book, only in a smaller more intimate style. If you are looking for a great way to tell a friend just how much they mean to you, you won’t go wrong purchasing this book. I bought several that evening and I encourage you to do the same. As a society we tend not to tell people how much they mean to us. Be proactive and make your friends day special by giving them the book “Friendship the Art of the Practice.”
FRIENSHIP The Art of the Practice
By Laurie Ellis-Young & Nancy Chakrin
Hard Cover with dust jacket, 80 Pages, $9.95
This collection of dazzling photos captures friends practicing yoga in spectacular settings around the world. The photographs are coupled with uplifting quotes celebrating the sometimes simple and sometimes complex connections that form from the cherished practice of friendship.
