| COMPONENTS OF THE PROGRAM
DisABLEd ARTIST GALLERIES
The Galleries provide disabled artists the opportunity to exhibit
and sell their work in our healthcare facilities.
THE STUDIO
Patients, caregivers, and the disabled community are invited to
experience the joy of art making in the Studio which is located at
The Rehabilitation Hospital. Some work together in a group while
others prefer to do individual art work. All share an interest and
curiosity about the arts as a healing influence. These sessions are
inspiring and stress reducing with no training in art necessary to
participate.
ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE
Artists in residence offer expressive art experiences with drawings,
painting and clay sculptures as they venture onto the patient's
floors and into the waiting rooms, introducing a variety of projects
and providing a means of self expression during treatment and
recovery periods. Patients may watch, tell artists what they want
them to do, or make art alongside the artist.
STORYTELLING AND POETRY
From time to time, our waiting areas at The Children's Hospital
become a place to tell stories. Pictures, puppetry, songs, and drama
may enrich stories told by a patient, visitor or artist. A story may
become interactive and be told together by those within the group.
MUSIC
Music is a major focus of the Arts In Healthcare Program. Our
musician arts-in-residence provide music using the voice and various
instruments in clinic waiting areas, lobbies, on patient floors, and
at the bedside of patients. The sounds of live music alter the
hospital atmosphere.
PERFORMANCE SERIES
Talented and often well-known musicians, singers, actors, dancers,
and clowns, bring their art to the lobby and other public areas of
the Hospitals
ART ON THE WALLS
Art displayed throughout the hospital transform them into a place of
beauty that can help relax patients and staff, and humanize the
environment.
