VERO BEACH, Fla. – (March 12, 2007) –The worlds of art and healthcare will collide next fall during the VNA’s inaugural The Art of Hospice program.
In collaboration with the Vero Beach Museum of Art, the VNA will pair hospice patients and their families with artists for four months. Each of the participating artists will create bodies of work based on their experience and journey with the patient.
These profound and moving pieces of art will be displayed for the community in the Vero Beach Museum of Art’s education gallery from Oct. 30 – Dec. 9.
The participating artists include: Suzanne Fox, writer; Elizabeth Colkitt, acrylic painter; Ann Weibel, painter; Mary Segal, mixed media; Geoffrey Meyers, sculptor; Betsy McKean, digital arts; and a musical trio. Additionally, photographer Cliff Partlow will document the entire project.
Stay tuned for more information about this unique VNA event next season.
The VNA is Indian River County’s first, and remains its sole, non-profit home health and hospice agency. For more information about VNA services and programs, visit www.vnatc.com or call 772.567.5551.
