Art with a Heart
Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas
The Arts for Healing Program,
Gerrit Greve, CoordinatorThis project is a collaboration between Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas (under the direction of the Arts for Healing Program, Gerrit Greve, Coordinator), and local schools, as a community outreach program. In this joint venture, students will be given prepared stretched canvasses of various sizes and access to quality acrylic paints and brushes, as well as instruction and guidance from their school art teachers and visiting artist, Gerrit Greve. This will be included in the class curriculum of the schools involved, and will also serve as a community involvement project for the students and their school. A two month show as part of the ongoing rotating artists' exhibits plus a formal reception at Scripps Hospital Encinitas will be organized for each participating school and so this would involve the parents and teachers of these students as well. The students are being encouraged to "give with their heart" to enhance the healing environment of their community hospital, and thereby make a positive difference to the staff, patients, and visitors.
So far, two schools have already committed themselves to this project, Rancho Santa Fe School and Santa Fe Christian School. The subject of these paintings will be HEARTS in keeping with the project title, "Art with a Heart". We will be looking to eventually involve many more schools in the area. In the future we may also use other subject matter appropriate for the hospital. The students will be donating the art completed under this project to the hospital. Any money resulting from the sales of artwork will go 100% to the Scripps Health Foundation.
