Whether it's art therapy for Alzheimer's patients or veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder; specially tailored educational program for home schoolers; work with juveniles under court jurisdiction; or innovative family programs, art museums everywhere are hard at work sharing their collections with their publics and engaging with their communities in new and diverse ways.
Below is an archive of AAMD's monthly roundup of
stories demonstrating the myriad ways our member museums serve their
communities.
