Dear Renee Phillips I’m visual artist Ghulam Hussain from Pakistan. Dear Renee I’m interested in Title of ‘’The Healing Power of ART. But PayPal system is not working in Pakistan. Please tell me what I do?.
Dear Ghulam, Thank you for expressing interest in The Healing Power of ART. I’m sorry, the only way we accept payment at this time is through PayPal. Maybe in the future we’ll offer another option. Best regards, Renee
Why won’t show past years paintings from the healing series? I would like to do a painting for my sister who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer stage four. I’d love to see other paintings that were done As healing paintings.
Dear Jane, I’m sorry to learn about your sister. We have a video featuring several exhibitors from The Healing Power of ART exhibition at https://manhattanarts.com/the-healing-power-of-art/. However, for an abundance of inspiration of healing art I suggest you visit our other website The Healing Power of ART & ARTISTS at https://www.healing-power-of-art.org. There you can view our healing art online art gallery and read articles about the healing power of art written by artists and other art professionals. Best wishes, Renee
This is wonderful! I am a fellow artist. I recently watched Lust for Life (cried a lot) and am now inspired to get involved with a local psychiatric hospital and art therapy. If things work out perhaps this exhibition could be like a goal for the patients!
Dear Ms Phillips–
Might we have a short conversation regarding our ART and HEALING project upcoming next year?
ROCKLAND CENTER FOR THE ARTS will begin a series of presentations, exhibits, workshops starting in February at our site in West Nyack, and continuing throughout the summer and fall. We would be grateful if we could somehow incorporate the works from your Healing Arts exhibit. Could we project the art on a large screen from your website? Could we make a contribution for that privilege? So far, the Foundation for Art and Healing has allowed us a terrific video, and Art Schulman has agreed to talk about his project in the ICU, waking patients in coma with classical music. Will you advise us further? I would be so grateful for a 15 minute visit with you. I am often in the City.
Dear Dr. Carole Weaver, Thank you very much for your comment and interest in our upcoming “The Healing Power of ART” exhibition. I sent you an email to the address you provided with this comment. I look forward to learning more about your project and discussing collaboration with you. Best regards, Renee
Renee you curate among the highest quality and diverse online art exhibitions. Last year I purchased a painting from an artist who was in the show. I look forward to viewing your Healing Power of Art exhibition in 2109 as I do every year. Keep up the great work.
Thank you very much Gordon. I’m proud that we attract the best artists from around the world and many have been exhibiting with us for decades. I look forward to presenting The Healing Power of ART 2019.
Greetings from beautiful Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Hello Renee. At a recent art show in Plymouth, my wife and I saw the work, “Woman of Prophecy” by Bren Sibilsky. It was noted she was a past winner of the Manhattan Arts International . Curious, I checked out your site and was pleasantly surprised to see your current call for entries for the “Healing Power of ART” show. At present I am writing a docu-drama based on the life and times of Faridi McFree. She invented a form of art she called, “Healing Art.” This invention is mentioned in a book by Howard Sounes called “Down the Highway” (a bio of Bob Dylan). Faridi truly believed her art could heal both physically and mentally – and she collected many testimonials from folks she had worked with and helped overcome various difficulties. I own her vast collection of art, manuscripts, journals and correspondence. I was wondering if you had ever met Faridi? She lived in Manhattan toward the end of her life, when her powers, and her artwork (in my opinion) were in decline. I’m attaching the WordPress blog I created in her honor. My notes on the collection can be accessed on the top of the page. By the way, I’m flying out to L.A. in early November to pick up an award for a different screenplay, but I fully intend to push the “Ballad of Faridi McFree” and her Healing Art on anyone with patience and a set of ears. Sorry for the long note. It’s an occupational hazard. Phil
Thank you Phil for sharing this healing art information. I look forward to visiting the blog you created and learning more about your fascinating docu-drama. Please subscribe to Manhattan Arts International so you can view “The Healing Power of ART” exhibition when it opens. I think you’ll also enjoy visiting the website we created that is devoted to the healing power of art – https://www.healing-power-of-art.org. Please consider being a guest writer there. All the best, Renee
