Call for Artworks
Newfoundland and Labrador Health Services
Mental Health and Addictions Centre, St. John’s
The Mental Health and Addictions Centre in St. John’s is scheduled to open in late fall 2024. The vision for the new facility is to be a beacon, a guiding light that resonates with clients, families, staff, and community partners.
In Canada and around the world, integrating visual art experiences within hospital settings is increasingly recognized as a measurable improvement to therapeutic environments, in the context of mental health facilities. NL Health Services plans to include many works of art by artists from our communities in this important new building.
The Project Team is currently seeking submissions of 2D artworks including drawing, paintings, photographs, and original prints (serigraphy, intaglio, lithography, etc) on archival materials, as well as textiles, encaustic work, or other low-relief artworks that are able to be mounted and framed. In order to submit up to five works between 18” and 48” wide, with a purchase price between $500 and $1,500, artists should register by requesting the full information package and submission form by emailing open.calls@centralhealth.nl.ca.
The process will be as follows:
Interested artists register for the opportunity by sending an email to: open.calls@centralhealth.nl.ca no later than February 22, 2024 at 4pm, NST.
Once the February 22 deadline to register has passed, all registered artists will receive the full information package via email and submission instructions via email.
Registered artists will then have three weeks to submit their artworks for consideration (deadline: March 15, 2024).
Please note, artists who have not registered by the deadline of February 22 at 4pm NST will not be eligible to submit their artworks for consideration.
