The Department of Neurology has opened the doors to a new art gallery that will feature diverse artistic voices. Under the stewardship of Rochester artist Shawn Dunwoody, the Unity Gallery will leverage art to provoke thought, encourage dialogue, and celebrate the voices, minds, and faces that shape the community and medicine. Located in the department’s Joynt Corridor in Strong Memorial Hospital, the gallery is open to visitors weekdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The works can also be viewed virtually on the Unity Gallery website.
