Arts in Medicine

Towards a Brighter Tomorrow! was created by multimedia artist Dindga McCannon with support from people incarcerated on Rikers Island as part of NYC Health + Hospitals Arts in Medicine’s Community Mural Project

The artists will design the murals in collaboration with hospital staff and the community, followed by “paint parties” to create the mural

The Community Mural Project is believed to be the country’s largest public hospital mural program since the 1930s

Five artists have been selected for yearlong residencies that will include weekly staff artmaking and regular artist exhibitions
