I got an email yesterday asking me to name hospitals that have great art programs. I need your input on this. If you know of a hospital that has an impressive art program, please email me at henry@henrydomke.com and I'll add it to the list.
The email:
We have a client who is interested in identifying hospitals with "good art programs." While I have toured many hospitals, I have had very few tours that focused on the art programs and I am hoping that in your professional experience you have come across some facilities that have impressed you.
I imagine your first question, is what is meant by "good art programs," but rather than specifically qualify it, I think we'd be open to places with great art, or fabulous process/organization, or interesting community connections, or any other aspect of "greatness."
Hi,
I wrote recently about the Deauville Hospital's art program in Normandy. A long way away to be sure - but they've recreated the outside world with textured images and things. It's really quite impressive.
Good luck with the search!
