OCAD President Sara Diamond invites you to attend a thought-provoking lecture by Dr. Guy Proulx, Director of Psychology at Baycrest. Dr. Proulx will share how art is a gift providing light and creativity taking dementia out of the darkness of pathology. In his words, "Memory has evolved as a wonderous time traveling machine that allows us to recapture the past or imagine possible futures. The power of art and environmental design can do much to reduce excessive disability associated with the aging brain and its related diseases. Confused minds are too often the results of disabling environments and crippling attitudes."
