Healthcare and wellness
The presence of artwork contributes to a calming environment, enhancing the well-being of both staff and clients.
Studies by the Cleveland Clinic revealed that patients reported that art had helped them reduce stress levels, improved their comfort level and helped them better manage pain.
During uncomfortable procedures or treatments art can divert the attention away from the pain, making the experience more tolerable.
Art can have a positive impact on mental health by promoting feelings of hope, inspiration, and positivity.
Art can also humanize an institutional setting, making it more welcoming and friendly.
