June 29, 2017
Rocky Cove (above) is one of 12 paintings by Charles McVicker that will be exhibited at University Medical Center of Princeton through October 30.
The Art for Healing Gallery at University Medical Center of Princeton (UMCP) will open an exhibit next month featuring 12 paintings by award-winning Princeton artist Charles McVicker.
The works, which include oil paintings, acrylics and watercolors, will be on display from July 17 through October 30. UMCP will host a wine and cheese reception on Friday, July 21, to celebrate the opening of the exhibit. [See details below.]
McVicker’s artworks have been accepted into more than 50 national and international juried competitions. He has won awards in 16 national competitions, 24 juried exhibits in New Jersey and six Phillips’ Mill shows in New Hope, Pa.
McVicker is a retired Assistant Professor of Art from The College of New Jersey, where he taught for 18 years.
His paintings are included in the collections of Princeton University, the Capitol in Washington, D.C. and the Zimmerli Museum at Rutgers University. Paintings by McVicker are also part of UMCP’s permanent art collection, which includes more than 300 paintings, sculptures, photographs and other works that are displayed throughout the hospital as part of the Art for Healing program. Research shows that viewing art can help alleviate anxiety and stress, reduce blood pressure, shorten hospital stays and even limit the need for pain medication.
The Art for Healing Gallery, made possible by a generous donation from Princeton Anesthesia Services, features rotating exhibits of artists whose work is in the permanent collection. Works in the gallery are available for purchase, and a portion of the proceeds benefit the hospital.
