The Caribbean Museum Center for the Arts is pleased to announce a community collaboration with the Virgin Islands Healthcare Foundation.
CMCArts is proud to activate its permanent art collection by showcasing selected artworks at the VIHCF’s Renal Center and Rural Health Clinic. The CMCArts permanent art collection highlights and celebrates the works and lives of Caribbean artists with a focus on local artists from the Virgin Islands. Currently on view are works by Niarus Walker (STX), Augustin Holder (STT), Maria Henle (STX), Dove (STX), and Tony Vanderperk (STX).
The VIHCF’s mission is to be a beacon of healthcare philanthropy through excellence in care, charitable collaborations, and educational partnerships. The foundation’s goal is to provide access to healthcare for all, empower clients in their healthcare journey through education and chronic disease prevention, and to help alleviate disparities in healthcare caused by geographical location, lack of resources and territorial status of the United States Virgin Islands.
CMCArts’ mission is to preserve and promote the art and cultural heritage of the Virgin Islands and the Caribbean through transformative experiences in the arts. The museum has a small but growing permanent art collection with a public serving mission to share its collection as often as possible.
We hope this community partnership inspires appreciation for local Caribbean art and the artists that create them. The goal is to share the joy and relaxation that art inspires throughout the community’s healthcare journey.
