Mind, Body and Color: Orlando Health Arts in Medicine Exhibition
2026-05-21 18:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York) | CityArts, 39 S. Magnolia Avenue, Orlando, FL, 32801, United States
Mind, Body and Color

For 30 years, artists have connected with Orlando Health cancer patients through the Arts in Medicine program. Whether writing, dancing, or painting, patients take their minds off treatment and focus simply on creating. For many, this reconnects them with who they are—not simply a patient, but a person.

Since 2013, the Arts in Medicine program has hosted an annual exhibition at City Arts Gallery, celebrating the creative works of patients at the Orlando Health Cancer Institute.

This year’s theme, “Mind, Body and Color” celebrates how creativity provides a wholistic approach to wellness. Each piece offers a glimpse into how patients use art to transform their personal challenges into expressions of wholeness, vitality, and the world they aspire to see.

From May 21 through June 13, this inspiring exhibition will feature over 50 works created by cancer patients and their loved ones. Join us at City Arts Gallery to experience the healing power of creativity and honor those on their journey to wellness.
