Balladeer Children’s Program enjoys making artwork in November!

Benefits & HR

The Balladeer Children’s Program had a very special painting activity in November, with their artwork set to be exhibited at East Tennessee State University’s Reece Museum!

The Balladeer program, a free benefit for Ballad Health employees, is intended to strengthen family bonds and relationships among our Ballad Health family. Activities include visits to area attractions, picnics in local parks, holiday celebrations and activities, sports activities, discount tickets for attractions or events, treats, take-home projects and much more!

November events

ETSU Reece Museum art activities — Spenser Brenner, local artist and exhibition coordinator at the Reece Museum at ETSU, led the Balladeer kids in a landscape painting activity. About 135 kids participated in the events. The artwork was completed, collected and will be hung in the Reece Museum, on display from Dec. 11, 2023, until Feb. 16, 2024. Balladeer families can go to the Reece at any time during normal business hours and see the artwork on display. For more information, visit Reece Museum.
