Virtual Benefit Showcase “Memories: The Moments That Make Us”

Arts for Alz Presents “Memories: The Moments That Make Us” A Benefit Showcase on FEB 26 & 27 at 8pm

Join Arts For Alz for two incredible nights of virtual artistic performance to raise funds for the Alzheimer's Association! 

Our Third Annual Benefit Showcase, Memories: The Moments That Make Us, will be presented on February 26th and February 27th, 2021. The same show will STREAM LIVE both nights at 8pm EST! 

In collaboration with incomparable choreographers, performers, and videographers, the showcase weaves authentic storytelling through various styles of dance, song, and interview testimonials-some of whom have their own personal connections to Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases. Because it is a virtual show this year, the breadth of artists is far-reaching. They represent different backgrounds, ages, cultures, and even countries, making this showcase all the more unique and unifying in bringing awareness to these mental diseases through art.

In addition to performance pieces from the Arts for Alz team (Taylor McMahon, Adam Wedesky, and Rebecca Kritzer), our stellar line-up of contributing artists includes:

Stephanie Klemons, Eric Mann, Alicia Albright, Sarah Parker, Penelope (PJ) Armstead-Williams, Caleb Funk, Taylor DeNapoli, MiMi Scardulla, Richard Cerato, Kalyn West, Arianne Meneses, Jillian L. Spinale, Marissa Alma Nick, Jena VanElslander, Johari Taitt, Phil Colgan, Kaitlyn Frank, Jenna Mitchell, Beth Liebowitz, Avery-Jai Andrews, Marc Kimelman, Jenn Rose, and Sara Brians.

Our full written show program will be sent to you via email with your unique show link on show day!

ABOUT US

Arts for Alz was created in 2018, by Taylor McMahon and Adam Wedesky in memoriam of their late grandparents who suffered from Alzheimer's disease and dementia. They combined their love for dance and their families stories to establish a space of creativity and community. Over the past three years Arts for Alz has curated two live showcases and raised over $4,000 for the Alzheimer's Association. Rebecca Kritzer joined the team at the end of 2020, lending her passion and support to nurture its growth.

Proceeds from this show will go directly to "The Longest Day" fundraising campaign in conjunction with the Alzheimer's Association New York City Chapter. For over 40 years, the Alzheimer's Association has led in innovative research and around-the-clock support to the millions of individuals and families affected by this disease.
