Supported by:
Radical Connections
Connecting the arts and health improves quality of life for residents, patients, and everyone working in and visiting healthcare settings. Creative participation is crucial for humanizing healthcare by celebrating individuals as well as the diversity of cultures, abilities, and communities. The work that was begun by Radical Connections, an organization founded by Dr. Carol Wiebe and the artist cj fleury, will continue at the Ottawa Art Gallery.
This project was realized with the support of the Ontario Trillium Foundation.
