TBI Portraits Exhibition Opening March 15

14-Feb-2012 WHACK'ed...and then everything was different, the world premiere of a touring exhibition of the TBI Portraits opens March 15, 2012, at MSB Gallery in New York City. The solo exhibition by artist Eliette Markhbein honors survivors of traumatic brain injury (TBI) who changed perceptions of TBI and disability in general and became role models for millions of others. The exhibition is one of hundreds of events across the country celebrating Brain Injury Awareness Month in March. Go here to see more about the exhibition.

Together with the Brain Injury Association of America and the Society for the Arts in Healthcare, Ms. Markhbein plans to auction the TBI Portraits to underwrite the development of a pilot Artist-in-Residence program to serve people with TBI in hospitals and rehabilitation facilities. The opening reception is sponsored by Rusk Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine and the exhibition runs from March 15 to April 15.
