The Rachel Kay Stevens Therapy Center (RKSTC) at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center is hosting its 7th-annual Art Show and Auction online Friday, August 24 – Sunday, August 27. Proceeds from this event benefit the pediatric pro-bono occupational therapy clinic at UTHSC in helping the uninsured and underinsured in the Mid-South.
More than 110 pieces of art will be auctioned. The artwork is donated by children receiving occupational therapy services and by local artists. Some of the art available for purchase will be featured at the ribbon cutting and open house for RKSTC’s new expanded clinic space in the 920 Madison Building on the Memphis campus, Room 526, Thursday, August 24, at 2 p.m.
Auction participants will be able to bid on pieces of art through the RKSTC Art Show and Auction website. Bidding begins Friday, August 24, at 8 a.m., and closes Sunday, August 27, at 5 p.m.
Bri Morgan, an OT student and the event organizer, said her passion for helping adults and children pushes her to lend a helping hand to those in need.
“I have always had a passion for working with children,” Morgan said. “Seeing that UTHSC’s occupational therapy program had their own pediatric pro-bono clinic just made me want to be here that much more. The annual art show is the main fundraiser for the Rachel Kay Stevens Therapy Center. We hold this place near and dear to our hearts.”
