WE’RE ON A MISSION TO CHANGE THE FUTURE OF BRAIN HEALTH

The Brain Project is a local art exhibit created by the Baycrest Foundation to raise awareness and inspire conversations about brain health with Canadians. Proceeds support Baycrest’s world-leading work in brain health and aging care, research and education.

The Brain Project engages artists from across the globe, both established and emerging, to design and create one-of-a-kind sculptures. The focus of this exhibition is communicating a key driver in maintaining brain health and support in delaying the impacts of dementia: physical fitness.

Research affirms that physical fitness helps reduce brain aging, increases blood flow to the brain and decreases the risk of dementia as you get older. Studies show that adults should aim to get 150 minutes of moderate exercise a week. In fact, by exercising regularly, an individual can take up to 5 years off their aging brain health.

The Brain Project will reinforce this message with one-of-a-kind pieces of art displayed at Nathan Phillips Square from May 6th – June 7th 2024.
