The exhibition is one of Monroe Clinic Gallery's rotating gallery exhibits, which change quarterly, through a partnership with Monroe Clinic and MAC. With a focus on "The Art of Healing," the galleries are intended to provide therapeutic and aesthetically pleasing artwork for patients and visitors, as well as bring local artists and community together.
