Art Moves Me: "Art Moves Me is a site- specific program designed expressly for The Center by Cynthia Pegado. This initiative distinguishes Buffalo as one of only five cities in the world to offer Parkinson's-specific programming in an art museum setting. Developed to stimulate physical, cognitive, and imaginative forces within each person, this community class draws upon therapeutic fundamentals of Dance for PD by Mark Morris Dance Group, Brooklyn, NY, while creating a unique experience inspired directly by the artworks on exhibit."

Alzheimer's Program: "The museum provides visits specifically designed for Alzheimer's patients and their families and caregivers. The program was developed in collaboration with the Alzheimer's Association of WNY Chapter 2805. Providing interactive tours with docents affords a means for Early Diagnosed Alzheimer's patients to express their thoughts and emotions as they connect images and ideas to their past. Each visit has three distinct components: a tour of the exhibitions, socializing afterwards in the cafe, and return to the galleries for further discussion."
