As part of the SID’s commitment to support the
Coalition of Skin Diseases, we continue to host the Patient Art
Exhibit at the SID Annual Meeting. The first exhibit, titled
“Emotions of the Disease,” was on display at the International
Investigative Dermatology meeting in Miami, Florida in 2003. The
successful inaugural exhibit served as a forum for patient advocate
groups to express their personal feelings about skin disease to
researchers in both academia and industry. Artwork was in a variety
of media, including oil and acrylic paintings, paper collages,
crayon drawings and poems.
The exhibit continues to be a moving illustration of the burden of
skin disease and an integral part of the Annual Meeting. There are
plans to continue the show in 2007 and beyond. The SID is seeking
industry and/or private sponsorship of the exhibit so that it may
continue to grow.
To find out how you can submit artwork
for the exhibit, please contact Becky Minnillo, Executive Director,
Development & External Relations, at 216-579-9340 or via
email.
