Café for Care Partners

About the Event

---

Join us April 22nd at 1:30 pm (ET) for a special private tour of Woodmere’s Maguire Hall, especially for care partners! The tour will be led by Hildy Tow, Robert L. McNeil, Jr. Curator of Education. After you register, we will send you information and instructions.

Join Woodmere’s Hildy Tow for a private tour of Maguire Hall. The opening of Frances M. Maguire Hall for Art and Education is the most significant event in the history of Woodmere since it opened its doors to the public in 1910. Participants will enjoy a guided tour of the newly renovated building, which has 14 new galleries housing cutting-edge Contemporary Art by the living artists of Philadelphia, the Illustration Arts, Philadelphia Modernism and Realism, Pennsylvania Impressionism, and a new Jewelry Vault.

We launched Café for Care Partners especially for the care partners of people living with dementia (usually family members but sometimes close friends playing the same role) to provide engaging, stimulating experiences and relief from the daily grind.

Admission is free with RSVP!

But we ask that you make your reservation(s) as early as possible. We keep our programs small and intimate in scale so that everyone feels comfortable and at ease. Reservations are first come, first served.
