How can the arts empower us -- as artists, patients and caregivers -- to navigate the challenges associated with serious health conditions, particularly movement disorders like Parkinson's? What's the impact of illness and recovery on the artist and their creative process? How can art help create lasting, therapeutic change in our lives?
Join us for an exploration of the artist as patient. We'll be joined by renowned artist Jerry Skibell (Skibell Art) and Madhavi Thomas, MD (Texas Institute of Neurological Disorders) with discussion moderated by Mark Goldberg, MD (UT Southwestern Medical Center).
