For over 40 years, Arts & Health at Duke has believed that access to the arts is essential to the health and well-being of patients & staff.  Therefore, we invite and encourage all Duke Health Staff & Volunteers to share their work in this all-inclusive Duke Health Employee Art Show.  Works can be a visual representation of how you recharge, find inspiration, or reveal a talent not usually shared in your workplace.
