Thank you to everyone who gathered with us on February 11 at THE GRILL | THE POOL for the 2026 RxART Gala—an evening defined by creativity and community ✨
This year, we were proud to honor two extraordinary champions of our mission:
@gloricohen , for her steadfast leadership and deep belief in the power of artists to shape healing spaces; and
@mickalenethomas , whose monumental mosaic Freesias on My Mind at NYC Health + Hospitals/South Brooklyn is a powerful example of how art can transform sterile, intimidating healthcare settings into places of comfort, healing, and beauty 🖼️
From a vibrant cocktail hour at THE GRILL, where guests explored our pop-up featuring limited-edition
@chaosursfischer pajamas, to an elegant dinner at THE POOL, the evening celebrated recently completed hospital projects by
@hilary_pecis ,
@juliachiang , and
@derrickadamsny , while also offering a preview of upcoming projects in cities across the country.
We extend our deepest gratitude to our sponsors
@marfastance ,
@wearfigs , and
@ooghealth , as well as to our Gala Co-Chairs
@steinsapirart and Doug A. Keller, our Host and Benefit Committees, the extraordinary artists in attendance, and the entire RxART community for making the evening possible. We also sincerely thank the
@fremontblueevents team and PR partners
@hellothirdeye for their thoughtful guidance in planning the evening and for ensuring that everything ran smoothly from start to finish.
Special thanks to photographers Billy Farrell at

Here’s to expanding what healing spaces can look and feel like—and to the art that makes it possible ✨
