I think it s a good way to get kids art out in the public, said Brown of the art show. It s a project where everybody wins, said Moors. The benefits of the children s art show in the hospital are two-fold. Not only do the students have the opportunity to display their handiwork in a public space, but the hospital staff, patients and visitors also gain pleasure from the exhibit. The art can really promote healing, said Moors.
Kids can realize the joy their art can bring.
A special exhibit and reception in honor of the students and teachers was held May 25 at the hospital. There, students had a chance to see where their pieces will hang for the next year. The students all received plaques from the hospital and the teachers were given roses. It s a way to draw the community into the hospital, said Moors. It s another way to get the community involved.
