RxArt is pleased to announce its latest and most ambitious project to date to be installed in the summer and fall of 2011 at Kings County Hospital, an inner-city public hospital in Central Brooklyn. RxArt will work with renowned contemporary artist Paula Hayes to create a state-of-the art sculptural healing garden for patients, their families, hospital staff and the general public. The garden will replace a static existing space and incorporate a new drainage system, lighting, seating and planting units according to the artist’s unique aesthetic and design.
The healing garden will not only act as a meditative oasis for those experiencing physical and emotional hardship, but it will also expose the surrounding community to a landscape of living contemporary art. RxArt, Paula Hayes, and Kings County Hospital thank you for supporting the power of art, and we look forward to sharing with you our groundbreaking finished space.
