The aim of Art for Care is to work worldwide, wherever there’s the occasion to do so, to brighten up hospitals and other health care institutions with artworks by international or local artists, well-known or new talent.
We connect with organisations and NGOs to develop art projects that brighten up dreary healthcare and office spaces to make them more pleasurable to be in, for both patients and personnel.
We deliberately work on a small scale in order to keep direct contact with all involved and answer as precisely as possible to the demands.
Participating artists are:
Aljoscha (UA) – Bolaji Alonge (NG) – Beatrijs Albers & Reggy Timmermans (B) –Lisa Beck (USA) – Jimi Dams (B/USA) – Benoît Géhanne (F) – Marc Hamandjian (F) – Prince John Hugo (TZ) – Nathalie Hunter (B) – Lina Kusaite (B/LITH) – Bevis Martin & Charlie Youle (F) – Charlotte Eta Mumm (D/NL) – Balázs Turós (HU) – David Valerian (TZ) – Guy Vandromme (B) – Koen Vanmechelen (B) – Robyn Woolston (UK)
We will work with them on projects tailored to the institution and its budget, whether with existing or new work.
Currently, we are slowly developing projects in collaboration with Abimbola ODIASE of the Healing Haven Project in Lagos, Nigeria and with Juliana Auma OKOTH of the Neuro Care Foundation in Kijabe, Kenya.
