Phil C. Bradley Housing Partnership
Phil C. Bradley Housing Partnership provides affordable housing to low income families in Roxbury. Their community room was recently redone but left with bare walls. Donated art will hang in the entry, community room, computer lab, and social work office to improve residents’ access to art and culture in their community. It is their hope that the new community space will serve not only as a gateway to advance relationships among residents, but also as a means to bridge the community together towards appreciate culture in a collective way.

Art Placements: 2009
Boston Center for Refugee Health and Human Rights
Boston Center for Refugee Health and Human Rights at Boston Medical Center strives to create a healing environment where refugees and torture survivors can connect, feel safe, and renew their lives. Traumatic life events impact an individual’s physical and emotional health as well as their sense of identity and place. The major focus of their work is providing holistic care that recognizes the important of community as a vehicle of healing and recovery. Their patients have often been exposed to extremes of human cruelty and their services are critical to the process of healing which enables the patients to trust in humanity once again. Donated art will hang in the entry, waiting areas, hallways, and meeting rooms of the center to represent a diverse array of subjects and styles reflective of the diverse experiences and backgrounds of the individuals that walk through their doors. The art will positively contribute to both the experiences of our clients and staff as well as the development and success of the program’s mission in that it would help them better provide a safe, welcoming, and inspiring environment that will encourage the healing process.

Adolescent Consultation Services
Art Placements: 2009
Adolescent Consultation Services
Adolescent Consultation Services (ACS) mission is to provide comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic services to court-involved youth and their families. Often, the low-income, high-risk children referred to ACS have been unable to obtain needed services elsewhere. Most youth come from multi-problem families with histories of unattended medical and mental health problems, learning disorders, substance abuse, family violence, and severe economic stressors. Some have required placement outside the home as a result of parental drug involvement, incarceration, or abuse/neglect. Typically the youth’s acting out behavior is a cry for help. ACS seeks to create a therapeutic atmosphere in their office in order to make it a safe place to talk for families referred by the court who are often disoriented and scared. Sometimes the clients are hesitant to talk about their lives as many clients and their family members have a history of trauma and may have a difficult time feeling comfortable. Donated art will hang in the entry, waiting area, client interview rooms, conference room, and hallways to help people feel welcome, create a natural conversation topic for new clients, and create an overall nurturing feeling in spaces that many otherwise feel impersonal.
