The Women’s Board of St. Luke’s Medical Center will hold its maiden art exhibit the whole month of November at Chef Jessie Rockwell Club, Ground Level, Amorsolo Square, Amorsolo Drive, Rockwell Center, Makati.
The exhibit entitled “Luke Who’s Painting..Ladies in Red, Art for a Cause” will feature paintings by members of St. Luke’s Women’s Board, a voluntary, non-profit group that supports the hospital by rendering non-medical services to indigent patients.
Art pieces include the poignant Harana, an acrylic-on-canvas of two flowers seemingly locked in a gaze; La Ventana, an acrylic of flower pots on a rustic window sill; and Tinio’s Garden View, an acrylic rendition of a lush garden.
The St. Luke’s Women’s Board was founded in 1903, the same year that the hospital started operations. The group undertakes counseling, medical missions, nutrition programs and fundraisers. Noteworthy projects include those with cancer, geriatrics and Parkinson’s disease patients as well as with new mothers under the breast feeding programs of the hospital’s Lactation Department.
The members, who are popularly known as the ‘Ladies in Red,’ mostly because of their red uniform, are constantly in motion to generate funds for their projects. They hold workshops, bazaars, sponsors art exhibits and will soon publish a cookbook, “Luke Who’s Cooking. .Cooking for a Cause 3.”
The proceeds of “Luke Who’s Painting..Ladies in Red, Art for a Cause” will be used to support existing and future projects for the benefit of social service patients of St. Luke’s Medical Center. For more information, call Chef Jessie Rockwell Club at 890-7630 and 450-2996.
