Did you know I currently facilitate SPARK! at the Trout Museum of Art ? SPARK! is a creative cultural engagement program for people with memory loss and their loved ones. While we use visual art as a jumping off point, we've done tons of fun things like making ice cream, writing poems, painting, and more. I've had the privilege of being involved with SPARK! on and off since 2015; these programs are so rewarding to plan and incredibly fun to facilitate.

Are you or someone you know affected by memory loss? Consider joining us for our monthly SPARK Alliance programs, which resume in March.

SPARK! is a free monthly program for individuals living with early-to-mid stage memory loss, their care partners, and family members. Participants are engaged in lively conversations, exhibit exploration, historic artifacts, and multi-sensory activities. SPARK! programs are held at the Manitowoc County Historical Society on the second Tuesday of each month at 10:30 am.

For our program on March 11, we will explore the history of the Farmer's Almanac and explore the changing seasons through motion and music. A special shout out goes to Just Orthodontics for helping to make this program special with some fun, handheld 'props' for the program. We can't wait to show you the 'props' in action! Learn more on our website at https://www.manitowoccountyhistory.org/spark

The SPARK! program at the Manitowoc County Historical Society is made possible in part by generous support from Bader Philanthropies, Inc. and Felician Village.
