Winter Valley Residences

Art Placements: 2008, 2009

Winter Valley Residences
Winter Valley Residences is a nonprofit, elderly housing organization whose mission is to meet the needs of seniors by providing housing and services, with sensitivity and care, as a means of assuring their well being and preserving their dignity. There are communal buildings with apartments for assisted and independent living seniors with community rooms and activity space. Many of the residents walk indoors, especially during winter months, if it’s raining, or if they are not feeling up to walking outside. The donated art will hang in their hallways and community rooms to bring a new energy and life to the space and spark conversations.

Brockton Neighborhood Health Center

Art Placements: 2009

Brockton Neighborhood Health Center
Recently, BNHC undertook a desperately needed building project. In November 2007, BNHC moved into a newly constructed health center in downtown Brockton. The new 58,000 square foot health center doubled BHNC’s space. Their expectations on volume and community need were far exceeded as BNHC experienced a 39% growth rate for the first quarter of FY09 (July-September 2008). Patients walking into the health center describe feeling as if they are in a “high class health center in Boston”.

90% of BNHC patients have incomes under 100% of poverty and BNHC believes that all people should have access to quality care and be served in an environment that preserves dignity and respect. The donated works of art will provide an atmosphere of enrichment, creativity and welcome for patients and staff.

Newton Housing Authority

Art Placements: 2009

Newton Housing Authority
Newton Housing Authority provides housing to the elderly, disabled, and families and victims of domestic violence. They have a series of properties, and donated art will hang in one that includes residents who must be low-income, over the age of 60, or disabled/handicapped. Currently drab and lacking any real art, the development will be enhanced by the artwork and offer a new energy to the blank walls. Donated art will hang in the entry, sitting room, card room, and hallways of this program where all residents can view and enjoy.



Artists: Bradford, Camilleri, Cook, Fields, Hause, Hodes, Holden, Hungate, Jacobson-Zamore, Dietz, Dietz, Maurice, McAskill, Nartonis, Partoll, Pratt, Roth, Rothschild, Safarikova, Schwalb, Shattuck, Tull, Dohanos, Leopold
