Cooper Hewitt offers a free program for individuals with Alzheimer’s or other dementias and their care partners to experience and discuss design objects and exhibitions in a small group. Led by museum educators, these dialogues provide a social environment for exploring design objects and stories and participate in hands-on learning experiences.
Modernist American designer Marguerita Mergentime’s bold textiles blend typographic and pictorial representations of American culture and graphic design principles. A selection of Mergentime’s work is currently on view in Tablescapes: Designs for Dining.
Programs take place on select Sunday mornings from 10:30am – noon. Space is limited, registration is required at chaccess@si.edu or 212-849-8381.
