Let's Look: Early Stage Alzheimer's & Elementary School Students. Experiencing Old Masters at the Pulitzer

Moments of Joy

A common strength of both adults with Alzheimer’s disease and elementary school-aged children is the profound ability to live in the moment. Lets Look: Making Connections at the Pulitzer seeks to build upon this strength; our program’s fundamental goal is to create “moments of joy.” We believe that exploring art with friends from different generations and backgrounds will create these moments of joy.

Lets Look incorporates art history, storytelling, gesture, and movement to engage participants with the Old Masters works. The fresh perspective of children, coupled with the wisdom of adults, will provide new insights into the art, while creating bonds between the different generations. In the weeks to come, we hope to see many positive moments grow from these relationships and experiences!
