"The Art of Healing", a WARM juried show
May 2 - June 27, 2008
Abbott Northwestern Hospital's Institute for Health and Healing
Submission Deadline April 7, 2008
About the Exhibition
Works exhibited must portray the themes of health, healing and spirit. The Institute seeks to display artistic work from a broad range of cultural backgrounds: the concepts of health, healing and spirit have a multiplicity of meanings and the wish is for the Art of Healing to be reflective of that diversity. The impression of the center is one of calmness, centering, openness and healing. The exhibit will be juried by "Art of Healing" curator Megan Hatch.
