Alzheimer’s Glass and
Iron is a multi-step, cross-generational art project that will benefit the
Alzheimer’s Association. The project consists of six steps:
1) We visit
care homes and spend quality time with elderly community members
making watercolor and iron oxide paintings...
2) Their art
is interpreted by iron castors, glass castors and glass blowers who make a
sculpture in homage or response...
3) We teach new skills
to artists who have never worked with glass or metal before...
4.) Via Glass Demos and
Iron Pours we rally the whole community to come together...(Alzheimer’s
Association representatives are present to answer questions about the
disease.) These gathering are target towards caregivers and the
grandchildren of elderly who suffer with Alzheimer’s disease...
5) We
host gallery shows that culminates in an auction of the featured art
pieces...
6) We send the proceeds
to the Alzheimer's Association - all while doing the important work
of raising Alzheimer's awareness!
