John Michael Kohler Art Center

Established in 1967, the JMKAC's mission is to encourage and support innovative explorations in the arts and to foster an exchange between a national community of artists and a broad public that will help realize the power of the arts to inspire and transform our world.  As part of the Spark Alliance, the JMKAC has trained its docents and educators in the TimeSlips method as part of its arts education and art-making programming for families with dementia.  JMKAC's exhibit Hiding Places: Memory in the Arts (through Dec. 31st, 2011) features TimeSlips in its residency program.  Photographer Celeste Nelms taught area residents to take narrative photographs and docents facilitated stories inspired by the photographs in JMKAC's Community Gallery.
