Diane Brown

Diane Brown is the founder and Executive Director of RxArt, a nonprofit organization devoted to placing the highest quality works of art in clinical and hospital settings, in particular pediatric hospitals. She has forged a path that draws equally from her professional beginnings as a pre-­med student at the University of Wisconsin and from her career as a New York based gallerist, art dealer, and consultant. Brown has been active in the field of contemporary art since 1973; from 1976-­‐1982 she owned and operated the Diane Brown Gallery in Washington, D.C. and New York City (1983-­‐1992).  These spaces played host to some of the most significant artists of the time. That experience has set the standard for the artistic aims of RxArt, a belief in art’s ability to  transform its settings and thus its viewers.
