This trial studies how well art works in improving outcomes in participants who are undergoing surgery. Exposure to art may help to improve clinical and psychological outcomes.

Detailed Description
-----------------
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Investigate through evidence-based randomized controlled trial the effect of exposure to art during the perioperative period on the outcome of surgical outcomes II. Assess patient response to artwork and investigate the correlation of patient response with the clinical outcomes of the patients. III. Measure cognitive changes that may occur for patients based on art exposure. OUTLINE: Participants are randomized into 1 of 2 arms. ARM I: Participants attend at least 2 sessions of viewing art pieces over 15 minutes every day for 2 years. ARM II: Participants receive standard of care for 2 years.
