Reid dedicates, opens MacDowell Art Gallery

Date
2009-11-17

Reid Hospital’s MacDowell Gallery, a revolving art display of work by regional artists, is officially open after a recent dedication ceremony. The gallery is named after Barry MacDowell, retired CEO at Reid.   

“The MacDowell Gallery plays an integral role in the healing environment of our campus,” said Randall Kirk, Reid vice president and Reid Foundation president. “It’s another area for our patients, families and caregivers to step away from whatever might be going on in their day and find a few minutes of respite,” he said.  

Craig Kinyon, Reid CEO, said the Reid Governing Board chose to name the gallery in honor of MacDowell soon after his retirement in 2008, recognizing his role in planning the new Reid campus and his efforts to make sure the new hospital made “healing environment” a priority. “Barry has long been a champion of the importance of addressing the whole person – body, mind and spirit – and realizes how gardens, art and other factors can play a role in healing,” Kinyon said.  

On the second floor of Reid Outpatient Care Center, the gallery features approximately 25 works by regional artists. The art is on loan and for sale, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting Richmond Art Museum and Reid Foundation.    

“We have a long history of collaborating with the Richmond Art Museum,” said Jason Troutwine, Foundation director. “Their assistance with this project has been extremely helpful,” he said, noting the Art Museum helps with procuring and displaying the art. “Eastern Indiana has many accomplished artists. This gallery provides a place to showcase their talent.”  

MacDowell said he was humbled by the honor. “I am truly thankful for being able to play a part in something that will benefit Reid patients and family members for years to come,” MacDowell said.
