By creating a soothing and supportive environment for our patients, families, and dedicated staff, this initiative brings awe-inspiring art from talented local artists to our hospital walls.
Brightening Lives, One Brushstroke at a Time
At Art From The Heart, we believe that art has the capacity to transcend barriers and offer solace during challenging times. Our carefully curated collection transforms the hospital's atmosphere, providing a source of comfort and inspiration for those in need. The vibrant colours, emotive compositions, and captivating pieces create an uplifting environment that fosters hope and strength among our visitors.
Art has the unique ability to spark joy, evoke emotions, and foster connections. Our visitors often express how these captivating artworks offer moments of respite and contemplation during their healthcare journey. Through this program, we are touching lives, bringing light to the darkest days, and reaffirming the power of humanity and compassion.
A Window into Local Talent
One of the core tenets of Art From The Heart is to champion and support our artists. We take immense pride in showcasing the talents of our local artists. With over 30,000 people visiting Canmore General Hospital annually, Art from the Heart offers artists a unique opportunity to reach a diverse audience, and share their creativity with the world. As you walk through our halls, you will be greeted by an array of stunning works that span a myriad of styles and themes, reflecting the depth and diversity of our local art scene.
We firmly believe that artists are essential contributors to the cultural vibrancy of our community, and we endeavour to create a platform for them to flourish. Unlike traditional galleries, we do not charge artists any fees for exhibiting their work, and the entire proceeds from the sale of their art are theirs to keep. This not only encourages creativity but also helps sustain the arts in our region.
