Memory Mornings At the Morean

Caregivers and family members and friends with Alzheimer’s or Dementia can register for specific dates to view a work of art from the collection and have a relaxed discussion about the work.

The first artwork in this series will be Chihuly’s Mille Fiori pictured above.
 
Those who register will receive an email confirmation with a zoom meeting link for the day of the discussion. These talks will be hosted by the Executive Director, Andy Schlauch and will use images of the Mille Fiori as well as a video to help illustrate the color and scale of the installation.
 
We are able to host these events at $10 per pair. This is a savings of 75% off normal ticket prices. Only 12 slots available per session, so book today.
 
We look forward to hosting you and having an exciting conversation about Chihuly’s incredible art. See you there!
 

Corporate Team Building

Every organization faces the challenge of navigating across groups and team member areas of expertise. Do your team members fully understand how the work they do contributes to the whole?  Have they lost perspective on the impact that you collectively make each month, week or day?

Informed by our successful One Day Tampa Bay photography challenge, the Morean team of professional photographers and photography instructors offer a creative team building option.
