Public Information Session

Newfoundland and Labrador Health Services
New Mental Adult Health and Addictions Facility, St. John’s
Public Information Session

Work building the new Mental Health & Addictions Centre is well underway. 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 will be 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.

Artists will be invited to submit up to five works between 18” and 48” wide, with a purchase price between $500 and $1,500 each. 

A public information session will be held regarding this opportunity on Thursday, February 8, 2024 at 10am.  Please email open.calls@centralhealth.nl.ca to receive the link to join.
