illuminations
sneak preview
illuminations is a rotating art exhibit housed in the massachusetts
general hospital cancer center. the work of several local artists,
representing various media, is on display for one season at
a time. works are chosen that shed light on the human experience
and inspire viewers to expand their vision of life. the exhibit
is intended to offer enlightenment and encouragement to patients,
families, staff and friends of the cancer center as they receive
care, provide care, or accompany loved ones.
in january 2001, illuminations began as an effort to improve
the clinical experience of patients, families and staff in
our cancer center. since then, the benefits of this program
have exceeded our expectations. patients and staff alike have
become engaged and receptive to this program, supporting our
belief that the environment in which care is delivered aids
healing.

patient
and staff reviews
the lives of patients, family members, artists, and staff
have been touched and enriched by not only in viewing the
art, but in some cases creating the art as well. brian, an
artist and former cancer patient, believes that visual art
can counterbalance the sterility found in many hospitals.
"art that distracts and engages a patient's mind with
cheerful and calming colors, forms, and images can spontaneously
and effectively reduce the levels of anxiety that are often
present in hospital waiting rooms. as both a fine artist and
former cancer patient, i can certainly relate to how valuable
and reassuring it can be to have your nervousness and anxieties
quieted by the visual stimulation of interesting ... and original
artwork. when patients are relaxed and receptive, they place
themselves in the best possible state of mind and spirit for
medicine to do its work."
--brian, artist and cancer survivor
"i was introduced to illuminations by a friend and immediately
recognized the value of sharing my paintings with this larger
community. collectors had already received my work favorably
and their feedback indicated it conveyed to them calmness,
tranquility and serenity. the positive response to illuminations
has provided confirmation and is presenting me with an entirely
new and meaningful venue for my paintings. i fell challenged
to create work that provides comfort and encouragement, and
hopefully offers a platform for inspiring discussion. illuminations
offers patients and their families a brief respite from their
difficult journeys, and it has presented me with a meaningful
and challenging artistic direction. for this i am grateful."
--michele, artist
"as a nurse, i am always aware and thinking about how
patient care will be affected. initially, when one thinks
about cancer care, the first thoughts that come to mind are
hands-on treatment such as chemotherapy, surgery, or radiation.
but, as an oncology nurse, we need to look beyond this. we
need to look at the care of the human spirit - the care of
the heart and soul of the patient. that is what illuminations
is all about. this artwork nurtures the environment and our
patients."
-- barbara, nurse manager, cancer center outpatient
units
"this is a wonderful program that i feel the outcome
and effects on the patient are wonderful. the pieces are beautiful
and are an inspiration."
-- patient, comment card
"a wonderful exhibit! thank you to all the artists for
exhibiting their work in the cancer center."
-- son of cancer patient, comment card
"you look at these paintings ... and it's soothing.
it's like a home. you feel comfortable."
-- tom, colon cancer patient
"today, illuminations has exceeded any notions that
ed and i had about an art exhibit when we sat in those chairs.
through this exhibit, the cancer center has been transformed.
when you walk in, your spirits lift. artists, cancer patients
and families, and caregivers come together to shed light on
the human experience. the exhibit offers patients and their
families a distraction from their worries and inspiration
to carry on."
-- chris, wife of lung cancer patient
"illuminations has awakened people's inner spirits,
allowing them to gain hope and strength, both of which are
needed in any healing process."
-- clinical director, gillette center for women's
cancers - gynecologic oncology
"with the advent of illuminations, i have been inspired
by the cancer center's acknowledgement of the therapeutic
value of the arts. it is an honor to exhibit some of my own
creations in bronze, gracing the surfaces of the tables and
counters where nervous patients must wait their turn. i hope
that my work can help anyone feel more calm and receptive
because some of my life's deepest feelings are towards peace
and serenity."
-- brian, artist and cancer survivor
"when you are dealing with death, it is nice to see
something that is about living."
-- a family member
history of illuminations
illuminations came into being as a result of one patient’s
experience, his vision as an artist, and his wife’s collaboration
with bruce chabner, md, clinical director of the massachusetts
general hospital cancer center.
cambridge artist ed sullivan was a cancer center patient from november, 1998,
until his death at age 44 in january, 2000. during that time he spent many
hours at the cancer center receiving chemotherapy infusions and radiation treatments
for advanced lung cancer. he was often accompanied by his wife christine cleary
and their two daughters. ed’s art was exhibited at mt. auburn’s hospital’s “art
for life” program, and he commented that he would like to see a similar
exhibition at the cancer center.
to view the paintings that
were the inspiration for the illuminations program >>>
after ed’s death, christine contacted bruce chabner
to explain their idea for the development of what is now
illuminations. chabner invited her to meet with him, expressed
his support, and did a walk-through of the cancer center
to plan the exhibit. with the support of the friends of
the mgh cancer center, illuminations was born: an advisory
committee was formed, a program manager hired, and the
cancer center became an exhibition space for a range of
paintings, photographs, sculptures, prints and drawings.
over the next few years, the exhibit grew from just one
location to thirteen.
today, the illuminations exhibition enhances waiting rooms
throughout the entire cancer center. the recent completion
of the yawkey center for outpatient care provides an ideal
gallery space with ample space and natural light.
