Healing Arts Initiative Seeks Submissions for Rotating Galleries

COVINGTON –St. Tammany Hospital Foundation Healing Arts Initiative seeks submissions of original artwork for rotating galleries at St. Tammany Parish Hospital.

“The Healing Arts Initiative at STPH offers an opportunity for patients, family and staff to experience the lasting effects of healing. The work we do lingers well beyond a hospital stay or an average day at work. It’s an extension of the very thing we have become known for, world-class healthcare, close to home,” said Mary Lee, chairman of the STPH Healing Arts Committee. “One community lending an outstretched hand for healing, where together; we will build hope and wholeness. This powerful initiative re-purposes our healing place, lifting the challenge and elevating our perspective. It’s a gift from us to you! We can all use a little more healing.”

Applications for the rotating gallery, which takes place from Aug. 1 to Sept. 26, are due by June 28. The Healing Arts Initiative requests artwork that creates a peaceful, restorative and healing atmosphere. The artwork presented in the galleries must complement the healing process, reduce stress and provide a pleasant distraction to all who encounter it. 

Healing Arts Galleries will be located on the first floor Education hallway off the main lobby, gift shop hallway and 3 North bridge on the third floor.

More information and applications can be found at www.sthfoundation.org/healingarts. For more information, email HealingArts@stph.org.
