QUEENS, NEW YORK.- The Queens Museum of Art presents "In the Flow: Artists from The Living Museum", on view through July 7, 2002. The therapeutic value of art has long been observed, but only recently understood. Throughout history, countless individuals have experienced the healing powers of art, using their creative talents to sooth the psyche, uplift spirits, and nurse emotional wounds. Nowhere is this phenomenon better understood than at the Creedmoor Psychiatric Center, a state institution in Queens Village and home to the Living Museum-a 40,000 square foot art studio and gallery that offers a supportive, nurturing environment to artists coping with mental illness. The patients residing in this dynamic community display an extraordinary talent for creating visually aesthetic works of an exceptionally high caliber. Selected artists from this collective bring their works to the QMA in the groundbreaking exhibition, In the Flow: Artists from the Living Museum.
