Yale Physicians Building to be city's newest art exhibit space

The Yale Physicians Building (YPB), the medical office building of the Yale Faculty Practice, has been designated as a New Haven Art Space and will feature exhibits by Yale faculty and staff, as well as artists from the Greater New Haven area. Phase I of the exhibit kicks off with a ribbon cutting ceremony on June 2 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the YPB. Paintings, photographs, quilts and sculptures by five Yale faculty members will be showcased. After the initial exhibit, submissions will be solicited from the Yale community for a series of juried events. Phase II will expand to include artists from the Greater New Haven area. "The use of the YPB as a New Haven Art Space supports our ongoing efforts to improve our patient setting," said Lorraine Roseman, director of operations at the YPB. "We are committed to creating a warm, friendly and attractive environment for patients and their families as they come to Yale for care." The YPB is working with volunteers and local businesses to fund the program. The Arts Council of Greater New Haven provided ideas for the creation of the Art Space. Terry Dagradi, a graphic designer in ITS-Med Media Services, is also contributing her expertise to design and plan the exhibit space. Roseman also collaborated with the Reverend Sally Bailey, a consultant in spiritual care to the Yale Cancer Center and chair of the Arts Subcommittee of the Program for the Humanities in Medicine at Yale. "I believe that the Yale Physicians Building will provide a venue for an ongoing series of high quality cultural exhibits," said Bitsie Clark, executive director of the Arts Council of Greater New Haven. "Mark your calendars for our opening exhibit and reception on June 2nd, and look for some exciting additions to our building this summer," said Roseman. "We are thrilled about this opportunity to share the wealth of art and talent from our community." -- By Karen Peart T H I SW E E K ' SS T O R I E S Conservationist's gift establishes environmental studies professorship More attention to the environment is needed, EPA administrator says Graduate students honor their mentors with a new award Twelve individuals honored for improving town-gown connections Mammograms lower rate of breast cancer recurrence, study finds Talk marks opening of center for children exposed to violence Scholar decries abuse of women to create pornography Baseball commissioner talks about players' responsibility Event examines life, work of controversial Yiddish writer Student drama centers on play once charged with being obscene Exhibit to explore how artists depicted Africa in 20th century Satellite images aid study of environmental threats in Africa Celebration of Russian literature on view at Beinecke Architecture project benefits 'fragile' city neighborhood Yale student groups honored for service to community Yale Physicians Building to be city's newest art exhibit space Graduate student scientists sharing their research at two-day symposium Agrarian Studies marks 10th year with conference In thanks,Yale physician receives Yankees baseball English Department alumni will consider 'Prospects for the New Century' Memorial service to celebrate life of John Blassingame Divinity School Search Committee Correction Campus Notes Yale Scoreboard In the News Bulletin Home|Visiting on Campus| Calendar of Events|Bulletin Board Classified Ads|Search Archives|Production Schedule|Bulletin Staff Public Affairs Home|News Releases| E-Mail Us|Yale Home Page
