The Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago's (RIC) ArtFutura: Art in Motion exhibit will be on display in the Ryan Family Atrium of the Robert H. Lurie Medical Research Center of Northwestern University through Thursday, June 6. The 11th annual event is both a juried art exhibition and a fundraiser to support the cause of art therapy. Last year, RIC provided more than 700 hours of art therapy to more than 100 patients. James Rondeau, curator of modern and contemporary art at the Art Institute of Chicago, selected exhibition participants from work submitted by hundreds of artists from around the country. All of the pieces are for sale, with half of the proceeds benefiting the RIC art therapy program.
