Cooper Hewitt offers a free program for individuals with Alzheimer’s, dementia, and their care partners to experience and discuss design objects and exhibitions in a small group. Led by museum educators, these dialogues provide a social environment for exploring design objects and stories and participate in hands-on learning experiences.

Modernist American designer Marguerita Mergentime’s bold textiles blend typographic and pictorial representations of American culture and graphic design principles. A selection of Mergentime’s work is currently on view in Tablescapes: Designs for Dining.
