The Walking Gallery Year 9 and10 July 22, 2019- July 22, 2021

These are the ninth and tenth years of the Walking Gallery of Healthcare.  Due to COVID and a fractured arm in 2020 there were not many paintings completed. We number 466 members walking around the world with patient story paintings on our backs.  We are attending medical conferences where often there isn’t a patient speaker on the dais or in the audience. We are providing a patient voice, and by doing so, are changing the conversation.


An artist or artists interviews medical professionals and lay individuals to form a patient centric narrative. The artist then creates representational imagery and paint that picture story upon the business jacket of the provider of the narrative account. The provider of the patient story aka “Walker” wears the jacket to medical conferences and events in order to disseminate the patient story to a large group of policy minded attendees and to represent the individual patient voice in venues where they are underrepresented. Further, both artist and walker will support the spread of the story and image via social media.

466 unique Walkers have joined the Gallery wearing 515 jackets.  The Gallery has representatives on six continents, but the majority of Walkers reside in the US. One artist creates the majority of the art, but new artists are frequently joining the movement.  The Gallery is promoted heavily on twitter, facebook and personal blogs.   Its widening appeal within the health conference community is creating a new space for patients at such events. If you are interested in joining the Walking Gallery here is the info:http://reginaholliday.blogspot.com/2016/03/how-do-you-join-walking-gallery.html
