Collaborations

An essential component of Shands Arts in Medicine’s mission is to create collaborations with other hospital departments, community arts organizations and hospitals around the world. These collaborations spark projects that move the message of art and wellness to a broader audience. We see art as a basic tool for connection and cooperation between all human beings as well as an integral part of the healing process.

Examples of collaborative programs

• Aim Together
• Aim for Africa
• Katrina Relief
• Courses at the University of Florida
• The Serenity Room at Shands UF
• The Butterfly Connection
• Dance for Life: Parkinson’s
