"Sister Kenny Rehabilitation Institute's mission is about helping individuals progress towards their personal best and our art show is an extension of that -- highlighting the abilities of those who experience physical or mental limitations." Abbott Northwestern Hospital has a permanent art collection from past shows that includes more than 350 pieces of art. Nearly 200 are on display in the hospital.
About one-quarter of the art show entries are sold each year, with 75 percent of the proceeds going to benefit the individual artists. More information
