The Northern Lights Health Foundation is launching its new Healing Halls Art Program.
Having
art visible in hospitals is believed to support the well-being of patients,
families and hospital staff, as well as reduce stress and create a positive,
healing environment.
Starting
in April 2014 the Northern Lights Health Centre will come to life with art from
local artists of Wood Buffalo.
Artists
have the opportunity to display and sell their art in the halls of the Health
Centre, with a percentage of proceeds from sales donated to the Health
Foundation.
The
art pieces will be available for sale to the public, with 30 per cent of the
sales donated to the Health Foundation.
Art
pieces will be displayed for a 60 day period before they are removed and
exchanged with new art.
To
get your art hung in the first intake, please arrange to have your art dropped
off at the Health Foundation office by April 1, 2014.
To
become involved in the program, please contact Christina at Christina.baker2@albertahealthservices.ca
or call 780-788-1559
