Memory Matters Utah, formerly the Alzheimer’s and Dementia Society Utah, is a nonprofit organization serving individuals with dementia and their caregivers. The exhibited art is a part of the “Fun Art” activity. Research has shown that Alzheimer’s disease does not affect the creative brain cells in an individual. If a patient can do anything creative they feel more successful, and consequently they are happier, more relaxed, and satisfied with themselves.
