Doctors heal your body and your mind...the arts heal your soul

We are looking forward to our 4th Annual Doctors' Day Follies and Art Exhibit which will be held at Coughlin-Saunders Performing Arts Center on Saturday, March 27, 2010.  Our major sponsors for this event are CHRISTUS St. Frances Cabrini Hospital, The National Arts Program Foundation of Malvern, PA and BancorpSouth.  Please check out our Follies page for more information and to purchase tickets.

On December 1, 2009, a new book titled, "Transforming the Healthcare Experience Through the Arts" will be released.  The book features 36 case examples of exemplary healthcare arts programs and Central Louisiana Arts & Healthcare, Inc. is one of those featured!  Pre-release reviews say, "A compelling journey into the healing power of art.  A beautiful book physically and in the inspiring story it tells."
We are proud to be included in this special book.

We are pleased to announce that Sara Fuhrer has been hired as our part-time Visual Arts Supervisor.  Sara will be overseeing all of the visual arts aspects of our organization...from art galleries to art carts to special exhibits.  We are so happy to be able to have Sara on our staff!!

Central Louisiana Arts & Healthcare, Inc. just received a grant from the Tunica-Biloxi Tribe to continue our LobbyArts Concert Series in the hospitals.  Thank you for helping us bring healing arts to patients and families in our area. 
We are also grateful to the Alexandria Downtown Rotary Club and to the Roy O. Martin Foundation for generous grants which wll allow us to create video arts episodes that can be broadcast into patient rooms.  The videos will feature performances and visual art by our local Arts & Healthcare performers and artists.  We expect the project to be completed in the Fall of 2010.  We are thankful for this community support.

We have just completed an 18 month project for Associates at CHRISTUS St. Frances Cabrini.  Over 300 Associates created ceramic tiles for the new Healing Garden project.  We will be working with landscape architects to install these tiles in the Healing Garden this Fall.  Thanks to all who participated.  These tiles will add a beautiful and meaningful addition to your workplace which is visited by so many in our community.
