Memory Cafe in San Francisco

Accompany us to Ruth’s Table’s Curious Minds program. We’ll be given a tour of their current gallery exhibit, Radical Resilience, and also make art with Suzanne. As the exhibit’s curators write: “Radical Resilience is at the core of our collective ability to survive, sustain, thrive and create. We can all gain something by celebrating our pathways and ourselves as we are.” For our art-making session, we will examine Claire Spector’s patterned and stitched quilt, titled “Shattered”, which represents the beauty, brokenness, and holding-together of stained glass. We will make, break and repair patchwork designs of our own inspired by Spector’s art.

Caring for a loved one with memory loss doesn’t have to be a lonely job. Memory Cafe is a gathering for people experiencing mild to moderate memory loss and their caregivers (spouses, family members, or friends). Enjoy time with your loved one and meet others who are dealing with similar issues in a supportive and welcoming environment.

San Francisco Memory Cafe meets on many Tuesdays at different locations. Participants must be accompanied by their caregiver.
