Memory Cafe

The Burchfield Penney Art Center is committed to making the museum and its vast collection of Western New York art accessible to all community members. In keeping with this mission, Friends of the Burchfield Penney Memory Café is specifically designed for people with Alzheimer's and their caregivers to inspire joy and make connections. 

Our Memory Café provides a stimulating and comfortable setting in which to spend time together in an art museum. The sessions will include interactive tours and hands-on art activities in a creative and safe environment. We'll begin by welcoming participants to the museum. Guests will visit the galleries and have conversations together about the artworks. This will be followed by a hands-on art-making experience in the Useum Studio, where they will reflect on what they viewed in the galleries. 

The Burchfield Penney Memory Cafe offers an inclusive, stress-free, and social experience, ensuring every participant feels welcome and engaged in a supportive community setting.
