The PDCreativity Project
is a beacon
of light in the darkness that is Parkinson's
disease. Our mission is to help
improve the quality of life for people with
Parkinson's (PWPs), by shedding light on the
therapeutic value of creativity and
encouraging them to pursue their own forms
of artistic expression, whether it is music,
dance and photography, or jewelry making and
painting.
The Project's website - PDCreativity.org
- celebrates the courage and strength of the
human spirit. It is evident in the
featured artwork created by PWPs, and the
artists' inspiring thoughts about how their
creativity sets them free; helping them
transcend the physical and emotional
challenges of Parkinson's. Applying
their skills and talents to creative
endeavors, many regain a sense of purpose,
direction, and achievement.

helping improve the lives of people
living with Parkinson's disease.
It is supported by the Parkinson's
Disease Foundation (PDF) and is the
cornerstone of a larger Quality of Life
Initiative.
