Heritage Manor Rehabilitation & Retirement Community is partnering with Dr. Tiffany Hughes and Youngstown State University students in an art-therapy program for residents with dementia.
Opening Minds Through Art (OMA) uses modern nonrepresentational art, professional techniques and materials. The program was founded by Miami University.
Heritage Manor will hold an art show in April to display the work created and to thank volunteers. Students receive one class credit.
