The Wellington Art Society will host an Art & Well-Being Community Event featuring guest speaker Dr. James Galvin, founding director and principal investigator of the Lewy Body Dementia Association Research Center of Excellence at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine Comprehensive Center for Brain Health. Galvin, faculty and staff of CCBH develop research to better understand how the aging brain works and design treatments and prevention plans that will result in longer, better lives.
Galvin will be speaking at the Wellington Art Society meeting on Tuesday, March 10 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Wellington Community Center (12150 W. Forest Hill Blvd.) to discuss factors that contribute to brain health, resilience, and the role of appreciation and participation in the arts.
The community is invited for an inspiring and interactive program that explores how mindfulness, creativity and arts engagement strengthen brain health and overall well-being.
Attendees can also view the Art for Memory member art exhibition at the Wellington Community Center.
The event is open to the public, but register soon to reserve a seat. Registration is required for all attendees, with a suggested donation of $15 per person. A portion of the donations will benefit CCBH research and diagnostic services and the Wellington Art Society, a charitable organization
