Please note: This event is at capacity. Please email to be placed on the waitlist.
Drawing on findings from the Hospital Murals Evaluation (HoME), the largest international study of murals in hospitals, co-led by NYC Health + Hospitals Arts in Medicine and an international team at the Jameel Arts & Health Lab, and grounded in the lived experience of artists working in hospital spaces, this panel traces a through line from evidence to policy, and from Champanier's 1938 WPA-commissioned ‘Alice of Wonderland Visiting New York’ murals and Keith Haring's iconic gift to Woodhull Hospital, to the evidence-informed, community-shaped care environments we are building today.
This panel brings together researchers, policymakers, clinicians, artists, and philanthropists to imagine the hospital of the future, one where the arts are a vital and normal part of quality care.
Another Wonderland is presented by the Museum of the City of New York in collaboration with NYC Health + Hospitals Arts in Medicine and the Laurie M. Tisch Illumination Fund.
