About Art in Motion Benefiting Shirley Ryan AbilityLab
This event showcases artwork created by current and former Shirley Ryan AbilityLab patients. Our goal is to raise awareness of the important role that the art therapy and therapeutic recreation programs play in the healing process. All of the funds raised from this event help support our therapeutic recreation programs and our artists. Shirley Ryan AbilityLab understands that most of the emotional recovery takes place after inpatient care — returning to beloved activities or exploring new ones. Because we treat the whole person, we have created a model of care that not only helps patients and community members restore as much of a function (ability) as possible, but also helps them return to the lives they love. These programs are unique and contribute greatly to healing, but most are not covered by insurance.
