Awaken at the AMA, an Albany Museum of Art program designed for individuals with memory loss, is expanding to reach a wider audience.
 
The free, monthly program, funded with a grant from the Barbara N. Rubin Foundation of Santa Barbara, Calif., will have its next session at 3:30 pm on Thursday, May 19 at the Albany Museum of Art, 311 Meadowlark Drive. Each session includes an interactive gallery visit and an artmaking project for those with memory loss and their caregivers.

An Albany Museum of Art Teen Art Board member’s Eagle Scout project is bringing a unique art experience to Albany through Southwest Georgia’s first Art-o-mat machine, which dispenses miniature artworks created by more than 400 artists from 10 countries.

After five years, all of the permanent collection of the Albany Museum of Art is back home. Its return is being celebrated with Homecoming, a special three-month exhibition in which every gallery of the AMA will feature works from the museum’s treasures.

On Armed Forces Day, the Albany Museum of Art will again join with museums across the nation in welcoming the U.S. military and their families through the national Blue Star Museums program this summer.
