Treasure Event ~ Memories in the Making Alzheimer's Association

The theme of the 2nd annual Memories in the Making Treasure Event this year was "a French soiree and arty party".  The event was held once again at Cuvee Champagne Bar in Milwaukee's Third Ward.  The French soiree came complete with a Mime, CanCan Dancers, a boutique, and fabulous cuisines.  

Memories in the Making (MIM) is a program that gives those living with Alzheimer's disease and dementia the opportunity to express themselves through art.  The Treasure event is essentially an art auction where they auction off the MIM art, as well at art by local artist inspired by some of the MIM pieces.  The last image is an example of local artist, James Hempel, and his inspired piece from one of the MIM pieces being auctioned off live.
