Fourteen student artists from Texas Woman’s arts program will launch an inaugural group exhibit featuring works that explore the intersection of art and nursing, with a focus on health care issues faced by the elderly.
The exhibit, “Vital Signs: Art, Health, and Aging,” is a collaborative project involving Dr. Aaron Loeb, assistant clinical professor at TWU’s Houston campus and Giovanni Valderas, a drawing and painting professor at TWU’s Denton campus.
The project will feature artwork created by TWU art students, each of whom will address an illness commonly affecting the aging population - such as heart disease, diabetes, or COPD - through their artwork. In collaboration with nursing students, the students will explore creative ways to visually chart the human experience, not only to represent the illness but also to convey hope.
The exhibition will remain on display through May 31.
