Call for Submission Lions Gate Hospital

THE HEALING POWER OF ART

Lions Gate Hospital Foundation’s Art Collection Committee is committed to the concept of the healing power of art and to the creation of a calming and attractive environment for the benefit of patients, their families, staff and visitors. The purpose of receiving donated art is to enhance patient care – a primary goal of the hospital.

The purpose of this email is to ask if you might be interested in donating a piece (or pieces) of your work to the Foundation collection for display at Lions Gate Hospital. We have been able to attract some excellent work which is having a very positive impact on our patients and staff and through donations from artists such as yourself we hope to expand the program to many more areas of the Hospital creating a warm and healing environment for all. Long term loans can also be arranged.

Our key focus for this call is EVERGREEN HOUSE, long term care facility next to Lions Gate Hospital.

Artists’ submissions are reviewed by our Art Committee to determine their suitability for placement and the donor is recognized with an appropriate label beside the work. Artwork is professionally hung and insured and a receipt for tax purposes can be provided if we receive an appraisal of the work. As well, your art may be featured on the Lions Gate Hospital Foundation website gallery and a link to your webpage may be set up.

The Art Committee is made up of various members of the hospital team including physicians, psychiatrists, board members, volunteers and staff. They are looking for work that is uplifting, peaceful and positive. Bright colours are desirable for this environment, i.e. florals. Some areas to avoid are paintings with a great deal of red in them, animals, people and abstracts which may be seen as 'jarring'. Paintings without glass would be preferable and large sizes (over 48 x 48) are problematic for us.
