Empower Wellness: Donate to dnj Gallery's ArtandMed' program

In October 2023, Pamela Schoenberg discovered the 'ArtandMed' curriculum by Ted Meyer, created for use in medical schools. It utilizes art as a tool to teach an understanding of wellness through patient/artist voices. With this added visual component, one’s ability to comprehend illness becomes more possible. Thus, Schoenberg decided to embrace this core, as well as combine an additional health component, at dnj Gallery.

In other words, Schoenberg decided to redirect the mission of dnj Gallery from solely commercial to a space with a more charitable and educational purpose.

Our journey to creating this GoFundMe campaign comes from a deep desire to make a positive difference in the lives of those struggling with health challenges. We strive to bridge the gap between art and medicine, providing a platform for patient comments often overlooked in traditional galleries.

Any donation to the program 'Art and Med' goes directly to the costs associated with running this program. The program includes the main art exhibition by those with the illness about the illness, a lecture conversation between patient/artists and their doctors, and workshops and events which correspond to the specific patient/artist’s community. The funds will be used for shipping and returning the artwork, installing it on the gallery walls, retaining the expert instructors for the health workshops and events and support in publicizing the exhibitions.
