There’s an art to the Shapiro Cardiovascular Center.
A group of donors, staff and key administrators has been hard at work selecting contemporary pieces that mirror the revolutionary care and research of BWH care providers and scientists and promote healing. The pieces promise to be thought-provoking, too.
“The theme of this collection of art for the Shapiro Center is innovation, which we chose because it reflects the forward-thinking mentality of the Brigham,” said Deborah Curran, senior director of Development.
“We selected pieces that are fresh, lively and diverse.” More than 20 original works of art, including acrylic and oil paintings, aluminum sculptures and a permanent video installation, will be placed throughout the Shapiro Center.
“We believe that this collection challenges convention, promotes dialogue and reveals new perspectives,” said Michelle Rheaume, art coordinator at BWH.
The artists come from all over the world and have different ethnic backgrounds. “Each of the works has its own story, and we hope that they resonate with patients and visitors,” said Elizabeth Erdreich-White, a consultant who worked closely with the group selecting the pieces and helping to define and create a theme.
