The Pursuit of Healthiness
Cincinnati Children’s Hospital partnered with Gallery at Gumbo on an exhibition exploring The Pursuit of Healthiness. The works were displayed at Gallery at Gumbo, 1300 Main Street, Cincinnati, OH 45202.
Teams of professional and youth artists created five paintings expressing their vision of healthiness. The project’s auction was intended to benefit child health programs, including youth participation in art programs in Greater Cincinnati.
Original auction period: June 16–July 11, 2023.
All youth artists received a stipend for participating in the program.
