Helen DeVos Children's Hospital is looking for local artists to decorate the main lobby of the new building. Lafontsee Galleries is accepting submissions of two dimensional and 3D artwork. Six spaces are available in the main lobby for iconic pieces.
"Art is something we're very passionate about," said Linda LaFontsee. "We're excited to work together with the children's hospital staff to create an environment that makes children, families, and staff feel good. Art can impact a child in countless ways."
The artwork submissions should be soothing and therapeutic, creating a welcoming healing environment for all who enter the doors. Specifically, LaFontsee Galleries are looking for proposals that account for the architecture of the building (i.e. the class walls and wave pattern that surround the hospital exterior) as well as have the "feel good" aesthetic.
Heidi Hudberg (of LaFontsee Galleries) said, "What we're really looking for is artwork made with the involvement of children, either in the initial creative process, in the final execution, or both."
Artwork proposals must be postmarked by September 30, 2009. Lafontsee Galleries will select the artwork to be displayed in the lobby.
