ARKANSAS CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL PATIENT AND ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE ART SHOW
THEA FOUNDATION TO HOST ARKANSAS CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL
PATIENT AND ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE ART SHOW FROM NOVEMBER
7TH TO THE 18TH. SPECIAL PATIENT ART SALE TO BE HELD ON
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18.
NORTH LITTLE ROCK, AR:
Join us at the Thea Foundation as Arkansas Children’s Hospital presents works of art by ACH patients and their Artists-in-Residence. The show will be up from November 7th to the 18th with a patient art sale taking place on Friday November 18th.
The artist in residency program, which brings art participation to the patient’s bedside, allows the patient an outlet for expression and creativity. While expanding the patient and familie’s view of their hospitalization, the
artists’ physical presence allows the family member or care giver to become involved in the process. Art is another way for patients to express themselves and gain some control over their environment, decreasing their fear and anxiety of being in a hospital.
Over the course of the residency, artists Hamid Ebrahimifar and Elizabeth Weber develop and implement several educational projects as individual and group needs are assessed. The projects directly support, not only the content standards within the Arkansas Fine Arts Frameworks, but also address key areas within the Language Arts, Mathematics and Social Science Frameworks across all grade levels.
