The Emerald Foundation “There is incredible power in the arts to inspire and influence.” – Julie Taymor The Emerald Foundation was established by J.

It’s not uncommon for people with Parkinson’s disease to discover their artistic abilities after being diagnosised with the disease. Numerous medical reports have been written about Parkinson’s patients who suddenly discover they are painters, sculptors or writers at heart. While the cause is unclear, it seems to be related to the dopamine-enhancing medication prescribed to treat Parkinson’s disease. The Emerald Foundation’s mission is two-fold:

• To increase Parkinson’s disease awareness through the arts.

• To provide Parkinson’s disease patients with opportunities to engage in the arts. Basil Dannebohm, who was diagnosed with the young onset form of the neurodegenerative disease and has since been a leading advocate for Parkinson’s research, treatment and awareness. Dannebohm serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors.
