Vita Gallery is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) art gallery dedicated to honoring the creative spirit of individuals living with dementia and memory loss. Named for Vita Fratello — a pioneering woman and force of nature — the gallery exhibits artwork created by residents of memory care facilities, bearing witness to the full personhood that memory loss cannot erase. Proceeds from art sales and grants support art therapy programming for residents receiving care at home and in under-resourced care facilities, ensuring that creative expression remains accessible to all.
Art in Our Community
The artists here are our neighbors, living in memory care communities nearby. Twice a year we open our doors, and their work fills these walls. Come stand in front of it. Bring someone with you.
Art as Therapy
A brush asks nothing of memory. There is calm in the making, and choice, and a quiet hour that belongs entirely to the one who is painting. We help bring that hour to facilities that could not otherwise offer it.
The Artist Within
Look closely and you will find them there. The color someone reaches for, the shape they return to — these are not accidents. They are a life, still being expressed. The soul is not lost. It is on the wall.
