AIH Stacked Pink

 Arts in Health Logo designed by graphic design student Clare Andrew, Uni SA

The design incorporates the WCH Foundation heart identity and images representing the various aspects of the program (visual arts, performing arts, literature and music).

 

 AIH Launch

 For the Arts in Health launch, we asked Annalise Rees  to create a work from ‘gifts’ provided by the guests at the launch. Minister Hill even donated an ambulance - can you find it? (Art work on display in our Foyer)

Arts in Health

The South Australian Government has drafted a commitment to ensure arts and design considerations are incorporated into healthcare through architecture and the human environment, public artworks and arts program.

“The Arts in Health Program will integrate arts into the life of the Women’s & Children’s Hospital to improve people’s health and wellbeing,” explained WCH Foundation CEO Sam Tolley.
