Join us to celebrate the grand opening of the Memory Hub: A place for dementia-friendly community, collaboration and impact!
About this event
This vibrant new space located on Seattle’s First Hill offers a variety of programs for people with memory loss and their families, accelerates collaboration and innovation among aligned partner organizations, and promotes dementia-friendly communities across the state. Spearheaded by the UW Memory and Brain Wellness Center, and with the support of founding partner the Frye Art Museum, the Memory Hub will redefine what it means to live with dementia!
Join us for our special Grand Opening celebration!
2-4 p.m. Wednesday, March 23. Register here!
Enjoy live music, light refreshments, program demonstrations and ribbon cutting! Meet the collaborators including UW Memory and Brain Wellness Center, the Frye Art Museum, Alzheimer's Association, Washington State Chapter, Elderwise and Full Life Care. Be the first to tour Maude's Garden, our newly installed memory garden named for the late wife of our founding donor Richard Ferry. For an added bonus, step next door to view the Frye Art Museum’s free ‘Art on the Mind’ Creative Aging exhibit which showcases the artwork of people with dementia and care partners.
Currently we anticipate an open house style event following the King County COVID-19 guidelines at that time. Virtual option by Zoom is available for a portion of the event (speeches and ribbon-cutting, approx 15-30 min). We will send an update closer to the event about what guidelines are in place, any changes to event schedule or format, and the exact time to be online for the virtual option.
The Memory Hub is located at 1021 Columbia St, next door to the Frye Art Museum. Limited parking available thanks to Murano Senior Living; directions will be provided.
