The Archimedes Movement would like to announce its HeART of Healing project, which is a very exciting month-long celebration coming up this October, 2009. We’re planning live poetry readings at Trimet bus stops; a 112-member strong, Patch Adam’s inspired clown appearance in downtown Portland; art fundraisers; avant-garde minglers portraying friendly guerilla art; a week of movement therapy demonstrations; a four-day film series; and musical concerts by nationally known bands. We’re working with local nonprofits, arts organizations, and health-related colleges to co-produce some of these events. The net benefit we envision will be a huge boost in awareness for all partners involved… plus strides in awareness around the urgency of health care reform, especially detailing how the structure of health care affects artists and creative professionals.
We like to describe the HeART of Healing project as an ingenious way to advertise to the community at large; in other words, what health care transformation truly means: (e)quality for everyone. Organizations and people who participate will act to resculpt, reframe, and revitalize the health care system.
To join the team that is working on this event (and having a lot of fun!) subscribe to this group. You'll need to be logged-in to this website to see the subscribe link in the right column. If that doesn't work for you, please email Kimberly Ann Brown (kbrown@ncnm.edu).
Come on out for a night of music, fun, and good company! Oh did I mention that you'll also be helping the Archimedes Movement too? It's win-win situation.
