Arts in Heathcare Archive
In 2007, a visual art and poetry exhibit titled "Beyond Katrina" was developed by residents of shelters in Central Louisiana after Hurricanes Rita and Katrina and toured widely under the auspices of Central Louisiana Arts and Healthcare. AGAR sponsored the exhibit at University of Virginia Health Systems Hospital in collaboration with the University of Virginia Health Systems Hospital Art Committee. Exhibit took place in hallway gallery outside surgery waiting room in hospital where we estimate it was seen by an audience of 15,000.

In 2012 Shizuka Morishita of Tanpopo-No-Ye Foundation in Nara City, Japan was invited to attend a conference at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC. Ms. Morishita, who is a longtime colleague in arts in healthcare, or as they call it in Japan, “Art Meets Care” asked Lynn Kable if she could arrange for translators for her for the conference, and for some visits to healthcare facilities in the United States while she was here.
Lynn Spoke with her friend and colleague Professor Fumiko Radile to see how they could arrange for translators, and Professor Radile was able to help through the assistance of two wonderful women, Mikiko and Momoko, whom she was able to contact through the Japanese/American Care Fund.
Lynn arranged, thanks to Ermyn King, a colleague from the Global Alliance for Arts and Health (formerly the Society for the Arts in Healthcare) visits in Washington, DC to the new National Intrepid Center of Excellence (for treatment of Wounded Warriors with Traumatic Brain Injury), and to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, MD. We were able to visit the very impressive art therapy and service dog programs.
