Celebrate National Family Caregivers Month with the National Museum of African Art! This November, learn more about this year’s theme, “Take Care to Give Care,” through workshops from art therapist Marcie Katcher. Create art and new communities while reducing stress.
Caregiving is both rewarding and demanding. The arts have been proven to allow caregivers to express themselves, lower anxiety, feel calmer and happier, discover experiential meaning, form supportive connections, and create something unique. This series, created specifically for caretakers, features docent-led tours of our newest exhibition, Currents: Water in African Art, followed by workshops designed for art-making and expression.
Presented in collaboration with Power Art LLC
Free and open to the public
