By Diane Brown | President, RxArt
Since founding RxArt, it has been a dream of mine to be able to work in New York City’s public hospitals. I am thrilled to tell you that in October we completed our first installation of original drawings and prints by Ben Jones, Laura Owens, Paul Henry Ramirez, Chris Martin and Garrett Phelan in the pediatric unit of Gouverneur Hospital on the Lower East Side.
Two years ago RxArt moved to a storefront on the Lower East Side, so Gouverneur seemed like the perfect place to start. The response from patients, staff, and hospital administrators has been extremely gratifying. The generous contributions we received during the GlobalGiving Challenge have made our work in Manhattan’s hospitals a reality – thank you for your support of these exciting RxArt projects.
We need your help more than ever to maintain projects of the caliber produced in 2009, and in order to extend our program and reach as many patients as possible. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
With all good wishes this holiday season, Diane Brown
