Sharing art with seniors

For Love & Art--a Texas-based project--helps the elderly living in hospices enjoy fine works of art during their last days through digital photos. A partnership between art galleries and museums brings thousands of pieces of fine art to Digital Foci's eight-inch high-res digital LCD notebooks for viewing by those who are no longer able to travel.

NYC's Metropolitan Museum of Art and Washington D.C.'s The National Gallery of Art are among the contributors.

This is a great idea, both philanthropically and business-wise. I speculate that this idea and similar off-shoots will be wildly successful in a couple of years. I want to help spread this to hospices in Chicago.
