ART(Z) Stops:

Coming Back Soon

In 2018 artist Jenn Warpole worked with ARTZ Philadelphia and with the Muller Institute for Senior Health at Abington Memorial Hospital to develop her vision for “ART(Z) Stops”: a series of serendipitous opportunities for informal, creative self-expression. People living with dementia and others who regularly visited the Muller encountered prompts to stop and (literally) make their mark: by interacting with still lifes, mixing paints, and ultimately taking part in the creation of oil paintings with Jenn.

The focus of expanding the quality of life rather than "fixing" is a perspective I find gentle and empowering, not only for this community but for people in general. As an artist, I am grateful and inspired to see that art has a deep capacity to touch and heal people in such a simple way.
— Jenn W., Lead Artist
