Brain Injury and Art
Northeast Center for Special Care
|
|
|
The Fine and Performing Arts Program at Northeast Center for
Special Care is a part of a larger mission of
rehabilitation, recovery and community reentry of
individuals with brain injury – to
recognize the dignity and value of each individual.
Through
art humans express their need to see more, to see more
clearly, to see beyond the horizon, to see beneath the
surface of their thoughts, feeling and the world they live
in.
|
|
People who have had a traumatic brain injury (TBI) express this
need no less and sometimes so much more.
We invite you to meet talented artists and view the works
they created - all by individuals with traumatic brain injury
(TBI) in the
Art Studio - a part of the Fine and Performing Arts Program
at Northeast Center for Special Care.

Changing
Identities: A Story of Traumatic Brain Injury and Art

The
Northeast Center for Special Care Art Studio is a
unique environment which promotes rehabilitation thorough
the creativity of the individual artist |

Art
adds something special to all our lives. There is no
doubt about it. Literature, for example, takes the
ordinary stuff of our lives and builds something we
can admire. Painting takes the colors that we
consider ordinary and creates something spectacular.
Similar claims can be made for all of the arts. We
ordinary people are exalted when we experience the
heights to which art lifts us all.
Writing, painting and playing music make me glow
with delight. I am always surprised by my own
ability to create a work of art.
