Our Favorite Stories in Art: The Healing Power of Art

New Jersey Stage published its 25,000th story in December 2021. As the site approached the milestone, we posed the question on social media as how we should celebrate. One response was to highlight our favorite stories from over the years. We liked this idea, but could not narrow things down to just 25 favorites so we will present a favorite each day from different genres. Today's choice is a look at the artwork of neurologist Dr. Noah Gilson and how he uses his photography to creating a "healing space". It's a piece called The Healing Power of Art.
