SPARK! is a free monthly engagement art program for adults living with memory loss and their care partners. Each one-hour program is led by specially trained museum educators who cultivate interactive visual art experiences.

Attending a SPARK! program provides an opportunity to be together in the moment. The programs are not reminiscent, nor do they rely on recalling memories, but rather focus on observations, conversations, and creative experiences.

SPARK! is hosted in TMA’s Main Gallery
1:00pm the second Wednesday of each month*
Art Educator: Michelle Sharp

*January 2025 – May 2025. June through September 2025, the SPARK program will be on hiatus as we move into our new museum.

SPARK! is free, but registration is required. Click here.

The Trout Museum of Art is one of four SPARK! locations along the Highway 41 Corridor that welcomes guests each month. To join more SPARK! programs, please see the following museum’s websites:

This monthly free program is part of the SPARK Alliance, a foundation of museums, nature centers, and cultural centers committed to the inception, development, facilitation, and sustainability of cultural programs for people with memory loss and their care partners.
