A global non-profit dedicated to brightening hospitals through art with the participation of volunteers around the world. Over 1,000,000 volunteers and patients have united in an effort to create over 44,000 paintings for over 4,000 hospitals in 195 countries. We welcome your love and support in our mission of compassion through art. The initial concept of painting for people in hospitals was born in 1975 when John Feight volunteered in Northside Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia. The idea to establish the Foundation for Hospital Art developed through years of painting in hospitals and seeing the comfort art gave to the patients, medical staff and visitors. Out of this experience has evolved the firm belief that nothing a hospital can provide in the way of technological and scientific marvels is as supportive as an atmosphere of compassion, both human and aesthetic, in these institutions where we all must spend time - to give birth, to be healed - or for some, to die. The traditional hospital setting is exemplified by white, sterile walls and ceilings. Examining rooms, waiting rooms, corridors - areas where health professionals and other caregivers work, where families and patients wait - are too often colorless, lifeless, and certainly not inviting. The Foundation for Hospital Art was officially established in 1984 and is dedicated to involving patients and volunteers worldwide to create colorful, soothing artwork donated to hospitals to help soften the often stressful hospital experience. Each PaintFest is unique and special, but all are filled with smiles, joy and the common goal of caring about people. NO ARTISTIC EXPERIENCE is necessary. Our technique enables everyone to participate. All you need is a heart to make beautiful things happen. For more information, contact us at [email protected]

Getting colorful for a cause! Our team in Skaneateles Falls, NY recently participated in a Paint for a Purpose event with our friends at the Foundation for Hospital Art. They spent the day creating a vibrant mural to brighten up a local hospital as part of the site’s annual employee summer event. It’s great to see this team making their community a better place, one brushstroke at a time! #BaxterGivesBack #LifeAtBaxter
A powerful image from Bam Graffeur showing just how important art can be in the hospital setting
?? **Un regard qui en dit long** ?? Cette image d'un enfant, pris en charge dans un box à l'h?pital, résonne en moi. Son regard, empreint de tristesse, nous rappelle à quel point il est essentiel de réinventer l'accueil des plus vulnérables. Imaginez si un simple graffiti, une ?uvre d'art colorée et pleine de vie, pouvait transformer cet espace froid et impersonnel en un lieu chaleureux et accueillant. L’art a le pouvoir de guérir, d’apporter de l’espoir et de redonner le sourire. Nous devons tous nous mobiliser pour que chaque enfant puisse se sentir en sécurité et soutenu, même dans les moments les plus difficiles. Ensemble, faisons entendre notre voix et pr?nons un changement positif pour un accueil plus humain et bienveillant. ?? #ArtPourGuérir #SoutienEnfant #ChangementPositif #Humanité

A week ago, my community held an annual day of service where hundreds of volunteers work on dozens of service projects. My wife and I were proud to have the Winnie Watson Foundation sponsor a service project. We painted mural kits from the Foundation for Hospital Art which will be donated to a local children's hospital. Winnie loves art and color, and I believe in the therapeutic and positive impact that art can have on our lives. Thank you to the many volunteers that helped us with this project!
