Healing Through Art

An Open Call for Art Submissions

Celebrate the role of art in supporting health and wellness by providing a platform for community artists to share their vision of healing, while enhancing our clinic spaces with works that bring peace, reflection, and encouragement to those we serve.

UH Health Family Care Center invites students, staff, and faculty to submit original photos and digital art for display within our clinic. Celebrate the role of art in supporting health and wellness by providing a platform for community artists to share their vision of healing, while enhancing our clinic spaces with works that bring peace, reflection, and encouragement to those we serve.

This inaugural year’s theme is “Healing.”

Selected pieces will be displayed throughout the clinic, allowing patients and visitors to experience the uplifting impact of art during their care journey. This is an opportunity to be part of a community effort that blends creativity with compassion, making health care spaces more human, warm, and healing. For more information about the benefits of art in the healing process, please read this article from The Healing Power of ART & ARTISTS (HPAA). 

Submissions can be made here through Friday, December 12. For any questions, please email FCCArt@uh.edu.
