How art collections are part of providing care in a hospital

from Talk of Iowa · host Charity Nebbe

Though people don't typically go to the University of Iowa hospital and clinics for the artwork, the works can have a large impact on patients and loved ones. Project Art at University of Iowa Healthcare started in 1976. It now owns and displays more than 6,500 original works of art, and it’s become an indispensable part of providing care. Charity Nebbe speaks with Project Art's director Allison Schwanebeck, the collections coordinator Anna Villareal and visual and performing arts coordinator Nicole Wolz. Then, we learn about research into who really drives pesticide regulation with rural sociologist Katie Dentzman.
