Gifts of Art brings the world of art and music to UMHS patients, their families and friends, and staff. This comprehensive program, one of the first of its kind in the nation, was developed as an extension of the Hospitals' commitment to excellence in patient care, research, and education.

Gifts of Art offers artistic and aesthetic opportunities for its patients, their families and friends, and staff intended to revitalize and enrich their lives, assist and enhance the healing process, and reduce the stress and anxiety often associated with health care settings. In addition, Gifts of Art provides leadership in developing and exploring the relationship between the arts and healing.

Gifts of Art is sponsored, in part, by the FRIENDS of the University of Michigan Hospitals and Health Centers, grants, donations and art sales. To learn how you can make a gift, click here.
