PCLA is thrilled to collaborate with dnj Gallery and ArtandMed on “Spontaneous Activity”: a group show by artists with Parkinson’s disease.
This art exhibit, part of the “Art and Med” program at dnj Gallery, is a desire to educate, spread awareness and raise funds for chronic health conditions.
The original “ArtandMed” curriculum, created for use in medical schools, adds an additional visual component to the education. The audience’s ability to comprehend becomes more substantial in viewing art dealing with a chronic disease, when it is created by an artist with that illness. dnj Gallery created this program to gain that distinct perspective, highlight patient/artist voices, and form a deeper knowledge and consciousness pertaining to members in our community.
The exhibition runs April 5 – June 21 with an opening reception on April 5 from 5 – 8 pm.
Gallery hours: Thursday – Saturday, 10 am – 5 pm.
We look forward to sharing the talents of so many incredible artists from PCLA’s community!
