At Children’s Hospital Colorado, the art collection plays an essential role in healing. Art serves as medicine for the spirit, offering opportunities for reflection and inspiration. Art humanizes our clinical environment, lending meaning to the cycle of life and healing. Art can awaken the artist within us and help us connect with our families and our community.
“For there is always light, if only we’re brave enough to see it. If only we’re brave enough to be it” – Amanda Gorman, poet
Welcome to the winter art exhibition at Children’s Hospital Colorado. The winter months have their own special kinds of light. Sunrises and sunsets mark chilly days and nights. Bulbs sparkle and glow in the darkness. And the light that shines in every persons’ heart warms us with every smile, hug, and kind word. The word luminary means a person or object that provides brilliance and illumination. The 15 artists represented in this show explore this idea in many unique and different ways. We hope while you enjoy the artwork you think about the people, places, and things in your life that give you LIGHT. May this gallery and all of Children’s Hospital be one of those places.
