Texas Children's Cancer Center: Courageous Cowlage
April
2001 Through
a series of expressive art workshops, Art Angels Artists provided Texas
Children's Cancer Center patients an opportunity to create their own visual and
literary works of art onto large bandage-shaped paper. Patients were encouraged
to creatively express themselves through imagery, designs and poetry that
reflected their personal experiences and stories of the medical challenges they
face. The workshops took place in April and May, during regular clinic hours, to
facilitate maximum participation of the patients, siblings, and parents visiting
the clinic. This
public art masterpiece will make its official debut in September 2001 as the
center of attention for the TCCC Arts in Medicine Making A Mark 2001 Exhibition,
which features artwork by patients and siblings who have been touched by cancer
and blood disorders. The
TCCC 'Courageous Cowlage' will be
among 300 creatively transformed cows that will be grazing around Houston as
part of the Cow Parade Houston 2001. This
unique public art exhibit of life-sized fiberglass cows designed to celebrate
the spirit of fun, art and community throughout the city of Houston September 9 through November 7, 2001. The cows
will be auctioned off with proceeds benefiting the Building for Children Capital
Campaign at Texas Children's Hospital and TCCC.
