Art is an important factor in rebuilding lives. It creates an inviting and calming environment that is therapeutic for patients, staff and visitors. Patients get the opportunity to express their emotions through creativity, stimulate their mind and feel joy during their hospital stay. The Joy of Art! program hosts exhibitions throughout the year and supports art groups and activities that helps patients feel engaged with the community. Art is integrated into patient care, providing holistic patient-centered healing.
We host in-house juried and non-juried art exhibitions throughout the year, featuring artwork from community artists, employees, and patients.
We support art groups for patients run by volunteers and recreation therapists. We host workshops, performances, cultural events and more.
Our art collection is comprised of an array of donated artwork that is displayed in care areas, offices and hallways.
