The PPCC Downtown Studio Art Gallery has opened its latest exhibit, 'TOUCHES: Healing Art.' The mixed-media exhibit is a collaboration between faculty from PPCC, Colorado College and the Beth-El College of Nursing at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, plus a noted community artist. The goal of the exhibit is to bridge the worlds of art and medicine, and explore the powerful bond between the creative process and the healing phenomenon. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Friday. For more information, call 502-4040. Exhibiting Artists About the Exhibit
Touches: Healing Art presents the unique coming together of working and teaching Studio Artists with health professionals and educators. UCCS’s Beth-El College is a longtime promoter of the connection between these two worlds. That connection continues to flourish under the leadership of Dean Dr. Nancy Smith. Pikes Peak Community College’s Art Department has been an advocate for community concerns and well-being since its beginnings. Under the leadership of Dean Taffy Mulliken the dedication strengthens and expands. This exhibit showcases a dynamic natural evolution in the bond between us. “Collaboration and interdisciplinary explorations are the key to learning, future and to health,” --Lea Gaydos, UCCS Chair of Nursing. Beth-El College of Nursing & Health Sciences at UCCS and Pikes Peak Community College Student Nursing Program have a longstanding relationship of shared resources & articulation agreements.
