Welcome to the Art Center!

We hope this area will become a favorite stopping point for our guests. For too long in traditional rehabilitation we have underutilized the value of art in the healing process. Both the patient and caregiver can learn much about themselves and each other through such expression.

At DSR we believe patients should be given opportunities and encouraged to make such expressions within the context of their treatment visits. Whether during the intake/subjective data gathering, or as an exercise in integration post-intervention, there should be an outlet for this discovery process. We also believe that the caregiver can gain insight into their own healing practice by taking time to explore this beautiful form of knowing.

Would you or a patient you know like to contribute to the collection? We ask that you submit to us directly your, or with your patient's permission, their art. The art can be a poem, journal entry, graphic, or a photo of some other form of expression related to healing (dance, nature, etc.). If you would include the title, if any, and a brief explanation of the context of the work, we will be happy to 'paste it' into one of our albums above for others to enjoy. All art remains the property of the artist. Contact us directly to submit the work or to ask "how" if you do not have art work in an electronic format.
