Greetings!

Vassar Brothers Medical Center will display photos and paintings by Dr. John Diamond. The show entitled "Awakening the Healing Power Within: The Art of John Diamond M.D." will be on display at the hospital's Dyson Center for Cancer Care from September 22 through November 30, 2010.

The Dyson Center for Cancer Care art exhibits are a program of Vassar Brothers to create an atmosphere of serenity and relaxation for those patients undergoing treatment for cancer and their families. 

Featured artist Dr. John Diamond - Artist, Painter, Photographer, Healer - is a pioneering figure in alternative and holistic medicine. He is the founder of the Institute for Music and Health, and the Institute for Life Energy and Creativity.

In addition, he is an author of over twenty books, including two books on art and creativity, and two best-sellers. Fundamental to his healing method is the therapeutic value in the creation of art. To this end he has dedicated over thirty years to painting and photography identifiable by a simple and potent beauty. His artwork represents a synthesis of all aspects of his fifty plus years of experience in health, healing and the arts.

Dr. Diamond has exhibited his work and lectured in the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, Russia, Japan, Italy, Cyprus, and at the British Council in Moscow, which produced a sold out exhibition within the first day.

Future solo exhibitions scheduled between September 2010 and February 2011 include: the Pritzker Gallery (Highland, NY), and the Japanese Friendship Garden (San Diego, CA).  His art is on permanent display at the Hillgoss Gallery, Chicago and the Aarwun Gallery, Australia.

Vassar Brothers Medical Center is a 365-bed facility that has been serving New York's Mid-Hudson Valley since 1887. Located on the banks of the Hudson River, Vassar Brothers has established centers of excellence in cardiac services, cancer care and women and children's health services.
