Partners in Art Initiative
Our Initiative is Art
The Partners in Art Initiative is a program at the Royal Ottawa Health Care Group (ROHCG) that recognizes artistic talent. Its purposes are:
-
to provide an ongoing permanent venue to offer visual artists an opportunity to display their works to the ROHCG community
-
to provide artists with the option of selling their works while on public display
-
acknowledge the importance of art in enhancing the health and well being of an individual
-
to breakdown the stigma associated with mental illness
-
to raise funds for the Partners in Art Initiative Bursary Fund
The Partners in Art Initiative Committee welcomes artwork from clients, staff and volunteers of the ROHCG and partners.
What We Do
Art is displayed in several designated areas for both long and short-term periods. You can help us grow by submitting your artwork, volunteering on the Committee, purchasing artwork or donating to the Bursary Fund.
A percentage of the proceeds from each sale goes to the Partners in Art Initiative Bursary Fund. This fund is used to assist artists by helping to pay for education or supplies. Contact the Committee or check
the website for more information.
How to Display Your Art
Works will be displayed for a minimum of one month up to several months.
Art Criteria
Art work can include the following: sketches, paintings, prints, sculptures, tapestries, and photography. There are restrictions on the size of the art you can submit. Graphic depictions of violence or pornography will not be considered. An artist may have no more than two pieces on display at any time. A separate Committee will decide, through the jury process, which works will be accepted for display.
To Submit a Work
Please call 613.722.6521 ext. 6010 and leave a message that includes your name, telephone number, and when you can be reached. A member of the Committee will contact you regarding your submission. For more information on the Partners in Art Initiative, please email art@rohcg.on.ca
