Massey Cancer Center – Requesting Student Artwork
June 11th, 2010Opportunity
Massey Cancer Center is a part of the VCU Medical College of Virginia and treats thousands of patients. MCC pushes the frontiers of medical research through state of the art treatment and clinical trials. They are dedicated to treating their patients’ illnesses, while also providing a generally quality experience. This depends largely on the environment in which the patients receive treatment. Research has proven that visual art plays an important role in developing a healing environment. To that end, The VCU Health System Arts in Health care Program seeks student artwork that would enhance the patient’s experience. This initiative will provide VCUarts students a unique opportunity to exhibit and sell their artwork. There will be four exhibits during the next 12 months. Exhibits will last approximately 90 days.
