In collaboration with USF Judy Genshaft Honors College, The James Museum is developing dementia-specific therapeutic arts programming for residents of Tampa Bay. Our collection is ideal for this project since it is approachable and possesses a “nostalgia factor” for viewers who grew up with images of the American West in popular culture.

Beginning in 2023, trained facilitators will lead therapeutic interactions with works of art for groups dealing with this diagnosis. Donations to the fund provide free admission to individuals with Alzheimer’s or other related disorders and their caregivers.
