A vision of financier, philanthropist and musician Warren Hellman, the unique Hellman Visiting Artist Program was created at the Memory and Aging Center to foster dialogue between scientists, caregivers, patients, clinicians and the public regarding creativity and the brain. Each year, an accomplished artist is invited to be “in residence” at the Memory and Aging Center to learn about neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal dementia. We encourage a creative exchange between the artist and the researchers, as well as interactions with patients and families who agree to participate. The Visiting Artist also shares their creativity with the larger community through a public performance.
