ARTZ @ Home

Event Registration Link: Register here.
Locations Details: Virtual
 Virtual URL
Date and Time: 09/16/2026 11:00 AM
Brief Description of Event: Join us September 16th at 11:00 am (ET) for a virtual ARTZ @ Home with Julia and Richard program. After you register, we will send you the Zoom link and instructions.

It is not often that we have the privilege of being invited into the home of avid art collectors to enjoy the pieces in their collection with them. That is exactly what we will be doing in our virtual program “ARTZ @ Home with Julia and Richard.”

Julia Converse Moore and Richard Bartholomew have been much-loved members of the ARTZ Philadelphia community since they participated in their first ARTZ @ The Museum program in 2017. When they first joined us, Julia had been living with a diagnosis of young-onset dementia for a decade. When Julia passed away in May 2020, Richard collaborated with us to develop a fitting way of honoring Julia’s memory and ensuring that one of the brightest lights of our community would continue to shine.

Julia loved looking at art and enjoyed discussions around art – both in her professional life and as an ARTZ Philadelphia program participant. Her last program with us was our first ARTZ-Connect program online, in March 2020. It was fitting that Julia, who had ushered us into a new era of online programming, should have a very special online program in her name.

In “ARTZ @ Home with Julia and Richard,” we will be welcomed into Julia and Richard’s own art collection, perusing and discussing two or three pieces per program, and sometimes pieces from the collections of Julia’s other family members. These will include works by Julia’s great aunt, artist Mary Foote (part of John Singer Sargent’s circle of American friends in France and Italy).

Richard and Julia’s sisters will be with us from time to time, co-hosting the program. Please join us for this very special program.

ARTZ Philadelphia Celebrates Joyful Connections

Event Registration Link: Register here.
Locations Details: In-person
Name of Venue: The Waterfall Room
 2791 Southampton Road, Philadelphia, PA 19154
Date and Time: 11/05/2026 5:30 PM
Brief Description of Event: Join us November 5th at 5:30 pm (ET) for a special gala at The Waterfall Room, 2791 Southampton Rd, Phila, 19154

Imagine a world in which a diagnosis of dementia no longer sentences individuals and families to lives of silent desperation and isolation, darkened by social stigma. Imagine that it comes instead with the assurance “you can live well, creatively, and joyfully, and keep connecting with others, and we will help you to do just that.”

We need you to join us in making this vision a reality.

On November 5th, we will be celebrating the power of joyful interactions around the arts to enhance the lives of people affected by dementia; and we will be honoring Neville Strumpf, PhD, FAAN for her trailblazing legacy as an aging-with-dignity advocate, and Mindy Mozenter, CSA for her extraordinary partnership, collaboration, and support of the ARTZ Philadelphia community.

Neville Strumpf, PhD, FAAN, is Professor Emerita, University of Pennsylvania, where she led for many years the School of Nursing’s highly ranked Gerontology Nurse Practitioner Program. She was also the founding director of the John A. Hartford Foundation’s Center of Geriatric Nursing Excellence at Penn. With colleague Dr. Lois Evans, Dr. Strumpf led groundbreaking research on restraint free care and was a tireless advocate for quality of life for frail older adults, many of whom, along with their caregivers, live with dementia. Dr. Strumpf also served as Board President of Ralston Center, leading an effort to transform it into the Sarah Ralston Foundation, which provides grants to not for profit organizations in Philadelphia serving the needs of vulnerable elders. Dr. Strumpf has received numerous honors and awards, published widely, consulted nationally and internationally, and was selected in 2022 as a Distinguished Daughter of Pennsylvania.

Mindy Mozenter is a Certified Senior Advisor (CSA) and has been working in the healthcare industry for almost 40 years. For the last two decades, Mindy has been working closely with older adults and their families. She currently works with Senior Living Specialists to help older adults find their next home, whether in Independent Living, Assisted Living or Memory Care. She is also an active member of the Board of Directors of Penn’s Village, a community-based membership organization in central Philadelphia that assists older adults to live independently in their own homes, and sits on the board of ARTZ Philadelphia. Mindy prides herself on being a trusted advisor to all of the older adults and families she serves.

Do you have a favorite song to share? Do you have artwork to show? Do you like to sing along or play an instrument or keep the beat along with the music? If you or a family member or group is interested in listening, singing along, or just watching this one hour of music, please join us! The musicians sing, take song requests, and enjoy making connections.
