  • an Fransisco General Hospital’s Psychiatric Emergency Ward

    18 April 2011 by Diane Brown

    Last week, RxArt hopped a plane to San Fransisco to install prints from artist Jason Middlebrook’s Traveling Seeds series in San Fransisco General Hospital’s Psychiatric Emergency Ward, and we think the addition of art has had a profoundly positive affect on the space. Above is an action-photograph of the installation in progress, and two glimpses of the completed project. It was a joy to work with the staff at SF General and we’re so happy with the result of the installation. Many thanks to the Sidney E. Frank Foundation for their generous support of the project and to artist Jason Middlebrook for his continued support of  RxArt.

  • Terry & Kanye Give Back

    12 July 2010 by Diane Brown

    The art world is no doubt a small community, but for RxArt—a nonprofit that curates, collaborates, and connects great talent with unconventional institutions (i.e. hospitals and healthcare facilities)—it’s always exciting to witness our worlds colliding.

    Case in point: Terry Richardson has just signed on for an inspiring project involving kids, his signature “thumbs up” gesture, and Kings County Hospital in Brooklyn—we’ll reveal more in the coming weeks. In addition, Kanye West gave RxArt and Jeff Koons an internet shout out last week. Above, the two are pictured hamming it up for Terry’s blog.

    It’s a small world after all.

  • I Think I Can, I Think I Can

    09 March 2010 by Diane Brown

    Anthony Sperduti and Andy Spade of Partners and Spade are undoubtedly one of the most creative duos to grace the cobblestones of Great Jones Street, and their conceptual books of curated iPhone photo collections are just one example of their many brilliantly original endeavors that make you say, “Why didn’t I think of that?”

    Their latest release, I Think I Can, I Think I Can, is a mishmash of green sprouts that have managed to beat the odds and grow in the cracks of cement and asphalt—call it a story of hope. RxArt keeps a copy in the office at all times, and thinks it’s the perfect spirit-lifting addition to any bookshelf.

  • Splice Mail Art

    22 February 2010 by Diane Brown

    Splice Mail Art is yet another example of how art can be a much-needed diversion from trying times. Your good deed for the day: review the submission guidelines on this blog and take ten minutes to fabricate an original masterpiece to send to Ruben. Amelie would be proud!

    Ruben Cooke began cancer treatment for relapsed Hodgkins Lymphoma at the John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford in the month of January, 2010. This project has been designed to provide some distraction from the reality of his situation. We plan to exhibit some or all of the work received, upon completion of Ruben’s treatment. Simply by visiting the blog, you are cordially invited to participate in any way you are able and to bring your ingenuity with you.
