LINK OF INTEREST





 From the design blog, Oh Joy, I discovered the fascinating non-profit company, RxArt.  "A non-profit organization dedicated to placing original fine art in patient, procedure, and examination rooms of healthcare facilities."  The mission is "improve otherwise sterile environments through contemporary art, promote healing and inspire hope and patients, families and staff." Being in a hospital is depressing enough, and to see sterile art on the walls-- especially for children is heartbreaking.  This company's efforts are enlivening so many children's hospitals.  Additionally, they have produced and distributed Art Coloring Books Artists featuring artists like KAWS,  Ben Jones and Terence Koh free of charge to the children at the hospitals.
