Q: Is this Art Therapy?

A: No. Art Therapy, is a psychological process and therefore must be licensed by

the

state. Art Therapy uses expressive or creative art with the goal of exploring

feelings.

MnemeTherapy™ is not about feelings or talking about the art, it's about

the brain

and synaptic development. Our goal is provide a rewarding experience

and we use

everyday, pleasurable experiences in a unique combination such as

singing and

painting, movements, story telling and praise to create whole brain

synchronization

and sustained attentive focus. This may stimulate neuroplasticity, or

the ability to

move functions and create new neural pathways.

Q: How long has this been around? I've never heard of it

A: I "accidentally" discovered it when I was Executive Director of a small Alzheimer's

Association Chapter in 2000. I started painting with Alzheimer's patients for a fund

raiser and we were all surprised when we began to see dramatic, immediate

improvements. When the chapter territory was assigned to a larger chapter, the

program dropped and our chapter closed, I started using it as a private practice and

in December of 2005, incorporated AWBF to train artists in the process I called

MnemeTherapy,(from Mneme, [pronounced NEMMA] the Greek goddess of memory

and mother of the Muse.) We started recruiting apprentices in 2008

Q: What does it mean AWBF is a

virtual

organization?

A: Instead of spending all of our time fund raising to keep the doors open, we've

opted to not have a paid staff and office space. Everything that needs to be done is

done by volunteers (including me) or by an independent contractor, like our

accounting.

Since I personally hold the trademark of Art Without Boundaries™ and

MnemeTherapy™ and the process of MnemeTherapy™, AWBF contracts with my

company, MnemeCorp, to recruit and train artists to fulfil their mission. Any funds

that AWBF receives is used to pay our very low expenses (less than $100.00 a

month) or provide matching grants for artists to open AWB Chapters.

Q: If I donate to AWBF do I receive a tax benefit?

A: Yes, The Art Without Boundaries Foundation has tax exempt status under

Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. You may make a donation on
