Art therapy in the museum setting is an innovative approach which has been gaining momentum in cities throughout the US in recent years. Art museums increasingly seek to provide programs that will expand their reach and will include individuals with a wide range of abilities, unique needs, and challenges. Both Art therapy and museum - based art appreciation activities have demonstrated improvement in areas such as attention, behavior, pleasure and self-esteem in older adults with memory loss and Alzheimer’s disease (Chancellora, Duncan & Chatterjeea, 2013).

Prerequisite(s): None.
