An art education program has brought some students’ artwork to the lobby of Montefiore Medical Center in Pelham Bay.
Studio in A School is a program that brings art education to schools across the city. The program also brings artists into schools to teach the students expression through art.
"Studio in A School has really been a blessing," says state Assembly member Michael Blake.
Art & Object Magazine featured the virtual reality paintings created by Tom Christopher and commissioned for the Montefiore Fine Art Innovation Program.
“Five years earlier, Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, New York, had also started to explore using virtual reality as pain distraction, but expressly for its pediatric cancer patients. “I had attended conferences on Art and Medicine where I learned about using virtual reality as a tool for pain management in pediatric cases,” says Olivia Davis, art curator for Montefiore.
Davis has long sought to push the boundaries of the medical center’s art collection. “Much of hospital art is mundane,” she says. “I want to go beyond that. Otherwise, it just becomes another thing on the wall.”

“Care was taken to ensure access to the lamps with special pedestals that allowed wheelchair-bound patients and guests to get close to the lamps to appreciate their workmanship and beauty. The lamps have the effect of bringing the outside world inside through their nature theme, comforting homelike quality, artistic beauty and the effect they have in changing the light.”
The Hutchinson Metro Center has a new gallery that is the center of attention. The exhibition is titled Signs of Compassion and is a collective by Jodi Moise, Curator of the Fine Art Program Collection for Montefiore Einstein, Nationally Certified Interpreter Jodi Prysock, and award winning Graphic Design Artist Miggs Burroughs.

The New BRONX Bombers:
A Yarn Bombing Installation
A Collaboration with London Kaye, Renown Crochet Artist
Named “One of NYC’s 4 Top Charities” by CBS.com, Foster Pride has helped over 10,000 children in foster care build life skills, increase their self-esteem, and prepare for aging out of the foster care system, by creating mentoring relationships and engaging them in art and career-oriented programs.
The HandMade Program was born out of a simple request from a social worker to teach the young women living in her group home how to crochet. Today, five years later, the program has grown into an opportunity for these talented young women to create and market their own line of crocheted items, which have been sold at Nordstrom’s, American Eagle’s pop-up shops, and the Paris boutique, Milk on the Rocks. Students keep 100% of the proceeds from sales and develop life skills and a sense of entrepreneurship that helps them in their future careers.
For this exhibition, the young women in HandMade worked with their instructor Amy Stack, and guest crochet artist London Kaye, to “yarn bomb” various sites in the Bronx. Dubbing themselves, “The NEW Bronx Bombers,” they had a ball exploring this new aspect of artistic expression.
"Mariposa!"
"Crochet made by London beautifully and passionately. Thank you, London!"
"Wonderful time. Wonderful hospital. Enjoy the crochet."
"xoxo London Kaye"
"A Life without colors isn't worth living!!!"
"Beautiful crochet to inspire hopes and dreams at Montefiore."
"Thank you, London, Montefiore and Foster Pride for this beautiful installation - it brightened my day!"

She was buying flowers to put on her altar at home to thank God for all the good things that have happened to her and her son. That was really chilling.”
Almost a year later, Stillman’s exhibition, “Say it With Flowers,” is now on display at the Montefiore Medical Centers’ ArtViews Gallery, 110 E. 210th St., through Jan. 26.
