The Healing Gallery at Grays Harbor Community Hospital

Recently a piece of my art, "Butterflies Flight" was accepted into the semi-annual show of art, which lines a long, long, l-o-n-g hallway where patients, doctors and visitors transit through on a regular basis. Instead of blank white walls stretching ahead of you, there is, instead, a wonderful gallery of work by local artists. One of my passions is placing art in public spaces where people wait...a library, a chiropractor's office, a homeless shelter, a nursing home... so I was very pleased to have my work included. Below is an excerpt from their website (http://ouraberdeen.com/healinggallery/ ).


The Healing Gallery at Grays Harbor Community Hospital is a unique opportunity celebrating the visual arts, together with the art of medicine. The Customer Experience Team at Grays Harbor Community Hospital in conjunction with Our Aberdeen have brought together a collection of artwork from talented local artists allowing patients, doctors, hospital staff, and the general public to experience the calming and healing properties of art.

 

Why not consider public spaces near you where art would be a welcome addition. In nearby Aberdeen, Washington there is also a program to match up artists and merchants for brief or extended periods. Meanwhile, your art is enjoyed and seen by many people (and is for sale!).
