Art
Gallery
A growing topic of discussion is the role art plays in both
spirituality and health. In order to facilitate this dialogue
and exploration the Oates Institute is including an art gallery
in the Online Learning Center that features both permanent
and temporary exhibits of the visual arts.
Our goal is to create personal interaction between the viewer
and the art; providing an experience similar to that of visiting
a gallery or exhibit in traditional space. This experience
with the art is intended to engage mind, body, and spirit
through reflection, and develop awareness of the contributions
the arts can make to individual well-being.
Featured Exhibit:
Spirituality, Art, and Health
by Lynn Meckler
This presentation by art historian Lynn Meckler features
65 classical works demonstrating connections between art,
spirituality, and health. It was previously presented to
the Oates Institute's Annual Meeting in 2000 and to Grand
Rounds at the University of Louisville School of Medicine.
