Art Installations
Welcome Blankets, an installation of vibrant lap blankets, welcomes the viewer into personal family stories. Participants around the world created the blankets as a craft-based response to those facing geographic relocation. Welcome Blankets was originally exhibited at the University of Chicago Smart Museum.
Photo Exhibits
The photo exhibit Dancers Among Us was one of the most popular displays at UChicago Medicine. Several of photographer Jordan Matters’ images where added to the hospital collection after the show. “Dancers Among Us, Part 2” will come to the medical center later this year.
Traveling Art Displays
Natural Healing, an exhibit of contemporary fiber art representing animals and plants that contribute to medicine and human wellness, came to the UChicago Medicine after a showing at the National Institutes of Health.
Annual Staff Art Exhibit
Each year, UChicago Medicine sponsors a Staff Art Exhibit supported by the National Arts Program. Our employees’ creative works demonstrate their talents beyond their services in patient care, education and research.
