Current exhibit:

Ten quilts from the UCSF Art for Recovery Breast Cancer Quilts Project are on display during the month of October at San Francisco City Hall. The quilts on display were created by women coping with breast cancer, friends and family wishing to honor the memory of a loved one, and those wishing to honor a friend living with breast cancer. Of the 70 quilts in the Art for Recovery collection, many were created in San Francisco communities such as Western Addition, Sunnyside and Ingleside, and Bay View Hunter's Point; and others were created in nearby communities (San Rafael, Marin City) as well as by women who are incarcerated.    > read more

Art for Recovery provides a safe environment where adults can express the intense feelings that arise in life-threatening illnesses; nurturing the aesthetic sensibilities of patients, visitors, and medical staff at the various campuses of UCSF Medical Center and in the community, and creating a safe haven for patients and staff to be heard, to express their feelings and find support.

We invite you to share the creative spirit of Art for Recovery participants by visiting our gallery, stories and poetry collection -- Word & Image; by reading more about our programs; and by sharing your thoughts and contributions, using the links above.
