Picturing New Connections
Picturing New Connections—a small, welcoming program for people with memory loss and their families or care partners. These multi-sensory tours include guided discussion and exploration in the art galleries, followed by a hands-on art activity.
Beeping Egg Hunt
Since 2011, GMH&S has invited blind, visually impaired, and other children with disabilities and their families to participate in a Beeping Egg Hunt. Chirping eggs allow children to locate them using sound and touch, while sighted siblings are invited to wear blindfolds for a shared sensory experience. The event also features a miniature petting zoo, Touch-a-Tractor, snacks, resource tables, and sensory activities—ensuring a fun and accessible experience for everyone.
