About The Art Collection at Sheppard Pratt
The Art Collection, located within our flagship Towson campus, consists of more than 100 works by locally, nationally, and internationally renowned artists, all of whom have been influenced by mental illness and/or addiction in some way. The Collection has been assembled through the generous philanthropic support of Friends of The Collection, with a lead gift by Bernice Levinson, in memory of her late husband, Donald S. Levinson.
With input from clinical staff, art therapists, physicians, trustees, mental health advocates, leaders in the art community, and a nationally recognized design consultant, The Art Collection has shaped our halls into a welcoming environment for patients, families, and staff alike. The art on our walls exemplifies healing and recovery.
