GIFTS OF ART PROGRAM AT MICHIGAN MEDICINE
UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
March 1-May 31, 2018
What is the Gifts of Art Program?
One of the first and most comprehensive arts in healthcare programs in the
US, Gifts of Art brings the world of art and music to Michigan Medicine, the academic medical center of the University of Michigan. Gifts of Art serves a
diverse
community
of
patients, families, visitors, faculty, staff and students.
About the Exhibition Program
Nine 2-D and 3-D galleries throughout the medical center are viewed by approximately 10,000 people a day and display over 30 exhibits a year. The Exhibition Program is designed to calm nerves, lift spirits, and engage minds. This supports the healing process and reduces the stress and anxiety often associated with a healthcare setting. Engaging with the arts in a medical setting can be an especially powerful experience.

Our Selection Criteria
In selecting artwork, we take into consideration the medical and emotional sensitivities of our viewers. Overt sexual content, violence and nudity will not be considered. We also avoid pieces that are confrontational, chaotic, obviously depressing or contain negative medical connotations.
We seek submissions for solo and group exhibitions of original art
around a cohesive theme. Individual
artists
and arts
organizations
may
apply. We exhibit both 2-D
wall mounted art and 3-D art in display cases.
Shows are 90 days in duration.
Gifts of Art provides extensive regional publicity for exhibitions. We also
handle sales (if applicable) and insure artwork while in our possession.
