Art dans la Cité – VISUAL ARTS IN HOSPITALS

Art dans la cité invites visual artists to create an original work of Art, for a specific site of the hospital according to specifications defined with the staff.

The principle of the workshop in residenceis the other aspect developed by Art dans la Cite

The artists elaborate their work in situ And associate the patients

The stay in hospital should not be a period of exclusion.

The life of patient must continue in spite of the double handicap of disease and hospitalization.

Hospitalized child must be able to continue - to build himself, - to learn, - to create fantasy.

Art can bring a part of this necessity, such a human part.

Artist's residence in hospital consists in inviting a creator to realize, in front of and with the patients, a work of art.

It offers young patients suffering from physical or psychological pathologies, the opportunity to meet with an artist, to learn his techniques and to participate in the realization of a work of art.

The workshop in residence improves the everyday life in hospital, it offers an alternative to the passivity of care and therefore give the hospital a human dimension.
