University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics (UIHC) Project Art
About UIHC Project Art
Project Art is committed to providing an environment that promotes healing, shaped by a robust offering of art exhibitions and performances. Art enriches and revitalizes the lives of our patients and visitors, reducing the stress and anxiety often associated with healthcare settings. Our mission is to create aesthetic, contemplative, entertaining, and visual thinking experiences that offer meaningful distractions to encourage conversations and exploration while visiting the hospital.
Examples of ways this office could contribute to FYS instructors' lesson plans, final projects, etc.
University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics offer local and regional artists the opportunity to display their artwork to a varied audience through the Temporary Exhibits Program. The rotating three-month exhibitions are enjoyed by patients, visitors and staff.
Past exhibits have featured a wide variety of media, techniques, and styles of both two-dimensional and three-dimensional artwork, including metalworking, jewelry, painting, ceramics, textiles, prints, and photography.
Temporary exhibition galleries are located on the John Colloton Pavilion, Level 8, and at the Fountain lobby, level 1 General Hospital.
