Art in Rehabilitation Settings

Implementing an Art Strategy in a healthcare organization provides a platform to foster a meaningful conversation about art, healing and well-being in hospitals. This session will provide a brief summary of West Park’s Art Strategy and introduce participants to what they will experience, from an art perspective, on the facility tour. Drawing on lessons learned, the presentation will also touch on how to start-up an Art Strategy, what components need to be included, who needs to be engaged, and how to seek new opportunities for funding, research and arts programming.
