Art Instruction

Upon receiving a patient referral, our Art Specialist will visit the patient and have an open discussion about what their interests are, limitations, and what they desire to receive while working on their art projects. Would they like to pass the time? Are they anxious or nervous about a procedure? Is there a holiday coming and they would like to create something to celebrate? Once that has been discussed, supplies will be delivered. Group sessions for units are also an option!

Art material options include but are not limited to clay, painting, printmaking, sewing, jewelry, mosaic, and other mixed media. All services are free of charge.

Our Arts Specialist visits inpatient and outpatient units regularly. You can receive a consultation by asking your medical team for a referral or by emailing david.gray1@vcuhealth.org. You may also fill out the patient referral form on your own behalf and email/fax.
