The dynamic of patient and artist working together fosters open communication, provides avenues for expression, offers oppotunities to deal with fear, and strengthens the patient’s sense of control during times of crisis brought about by serious illness. This collaboration serves two purposes: It allows patients and families to participate in activities that enhance the hospital experience and then to display their work in order to personalize the physical setting and make it more inspiring.

Artists
in residence work annually with over 100 volunteers from the Gainesville
community and the University of Florida. These artists and volunteers
engage patients, families, and staff in the creative disciplines of
dance drama, writing, music, visual arts, and mind/body programs.
