A celebration of 25 years of RxART, a pioneering nonprofit organization that works at the intersection of visual art and health care

RxART is the nonprofit organization that has been a force behind installing uplifting art by well-known contemporary artists to the walls of major pediatric hospitals in the United States, bringing joy to young patients facing medical conditions. Founded in 2000 by former gallerist Diane Brown, RxART creates museum-quality art installations that humanize health care spaces and improve the patient experience.

RxART: The Artists and Projects Transforming Health Care Spaces commemorates 25 years of the organization’s tireless dedication to making hospitals a place of healing, creativity, and hope. The book showcases 50 site-specific projects by some of the biggest names in contemporary art, including Jeff Koons, Takashi Murakami, Kenny Scharf, Nicolas Party, Nina Chanel Abney, Ryan McGinley, Ed Ruscha, Julia Chiang, and William Wegman, among many others.

Alongside the 100 images, readers will discover an exclusive conversation with renowned contributing artists Derrick Adams, Ann Craven, Rashid Johnson, and Rob Pruitt, moderated by Matthew Higgs.

Featuring a bold cover and beautifully printed imagery, RxART: The Artists and Projects Transforming Health Care Spaces is a testament to the transformative power of art in improving lives.
