Orthopedics exhibit
A new exhibit, "eMotion Pictures: An Exhibition of Orthopedics in Art," on display from Jan. 17 through Feb. 21 in the Robeson Gallery of the HUB-Robeson Center on the University Park campus, shows artwork by adults and children who have been touched by an orthopedic condition, and by orthopedic surgeons who illustrate some aspect of their feeling about the patient-physician partnership or making a difference in the lives of patients, practicing the art of healing, outcomes, or compassion. Artwork by 1981 Penn State alumnus David Teplica, a Chicago-based plastic and reconstructive surgeon and exhibiting artist, and by S. Terry Canale, a Memphis, Tenn.-based orthopedic surgeon, are among those included in the exhibit.
An opening reception for the exhibit will be held from 5 to 6 p.m. Jan. 23 at the Robeson Gallery. The reception will be preceded by a presentation from 4 to 5 p.m. in 129 HUB by Teplica. The exhibit is sponsored by the Arts & Health Outreach Initiative of Penn State in collaboration with the HUB-Robeson Galleries.
In March and April, the exhibit will be shown in the College of Medicine at Hershey Medical Center in conjunction with a conference there March 27-29 on arts in healing and health care.
