The Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago and the Hektoen Institute’s Nurses & the Humanities present a multidisciplinary art experience for nurses and other health care professionals.
-The evening will begin with a guided tour of the tapestry “Job”, the last creative effort of the Russian artist Marc Chagall (see image).
-Following light refreshments, Eunice Joffe & Jennifer Viets, Directors of ArtsConnect, will actively engage participants to jump start their creativity through music, movement and improvisational drama. This highly interactive evening will provide nurses and other caregivers with arts- centered opportunities to help themselves and their patients regain the basic needs of belonging, choice, self-respect and fun.
-Participants will also learn about the role Arts & Medicine departments are playing in medical facilities across the country and how to foster advocacy for arts programming in their own settings.
Wear comfortable clothes and shoes.
Since 1994, ArtsConnect has been connecting patients, medical staff, and families to the arts through residencies, performances and workshops.
