The City of Lakeland has declared July 27, 2024 as Arts & Health Day. This is a national movement with the Arts for EveryBody Campaign and the National League of Cities. In the week leading up to this event, organizations across the city will come together to bring awareness to the benefits of the arts for individual and community health. As part of this initiative, the Watson Clinic Foundation's Arts in Medicine program is coordinating a community-wide art project called “Hexagon Harmony.”
At the
Watson Clinic Cancer & Research Center, along with other organizations throughout Lakeland (listed below) you can pick up a small hexagon with directions on sketching, coloring, or painting to create your own masterpiece. Simply put it into the drop box provided when it is finished, and it will be combined with others throughout our community to create a beautiful collage canvas artwork which will hang in the Watson Clinic Cancer & Research Center providing inspiration to patients and caregivers.
You can pick up your project and participate by stopping at any of these participating organizations:
