A special exhibit at the Thames Art Gallery is shining a light on those living with dementia.

Local artist and art therapist Krista Schneider says “Spark Joy” is a culmination of art programs and workshops she delivered across Chatham-Kent.

Schneider says the exhibit highlights shared experiences and the joys of artmaking across a broad spectrum of abilities and life phases.

The event is a community arts partnership with the Alzheimer Society of Chatham-Kent and runs through January 14th.
