The gallery space on Level 1 of the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center at the University of Nebraska Medical Center\/Nebraska Medicine is hosting the exhibition "Healing + Community" through April 17. The exhibition, which is currently on display, features the artwork of five Nebraska artists – Jennifer Homan, Charles Kay, Jr., Laurie Victor Kay, Thomas Prinz and Jennifer Radil.
\n 
\nThe exhibition grew from a recent Healing Arts Acquisition Committee project to select artwork for the Special Care Unit in the cancer center.
\n 
\nIn this inpatient unit, bone marrow and stem cell transplant patients live in isolation for up to three months as they undergo the transplant and recovery process. Because the Special Care Unit becomes a temporary home for these patients, the committee sought to create an inspirational environment with artwork that represented the local Nebraska community.
\n 
\nThe five artists in this exhibition were selected for the Special Care Unit project because their works reflect the unique art community of Nebraska and culture of the region.
\n 
\n"Each of these five artists embodies a distinct form of expression, and the selection of artworks in this exhibition represents outstanding examples of works by these artists," said Colleen Heavican Cass, curator of the Healing Arts Program. "Ranging from realism to abstraction, some of the works feature the artists' signature subjects, while other works reflect new explorations by the artists.
\n 
\n"Together these artists and their artworks represent the coalescence of healing and community," she said. "They unite us through sharing their gift of healing through art."
\n 
\n"Healing + Community" is a free exhibition on view on Level 1 of the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center during regular visiting hours 8 a.m. – 8:30 p.m.
\n 
\nThe exhibition will be included in docent-guided Healing Arts tours. Docent-led art tours are offered on a first-come, first-served basis for 15 people from 1 to 2 p.m. on Saturdays. Individuals can sign up for tours online here<\/a>.
\n 
\nThe Healing Arts Program at UNMC\/Nebraska Medicine recognizes that the arts are intrinsic to wellness and healing. Creating an aesthetically comforting and beautiful environment, a diverse collection of artwork is showcased throughout public, private and research spaces within the cancer center.
