Art workshops offered for people with memory loss

TINTON FALLS — The Monmouth County Park System is offering an art workshop for people with mild memory loss and reduced physical dexterity.

The workshop will be held at the Fort Monmouth Recreation Center in Tinton Falls and will be facilitated by certified art teacher Karen Starrett, who has designed workshop projects to engage participants while considering individual physical and cognitive needs.

Caregivers will need to stay at the Fort Monmouth facility during the workshop and there will be a support group available during workshop hours.

The art workshop will be held on four consecutive Mondays, Oct. 19 to Nov. 9, from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. For more information and to register, call the park system at 732-842-4000.
