Art Selection Criteria and Guidelines
Proposals for donated artworks are carefully reviewed by the Art Coordinator at Children's with input from our Art Committee. Several factors determine whether or not we can accept a piece of artwork.
Here are a few of the questions we ask ourselves when considering a donation:
  • Is it soothing, engaging, educational, uplifting, visually appealing?
  • Could it be seen as confusing, scary or inappropriate?
  • Will it be appreciated by all age levels?
  • Is there funding to frame and/or display this piece properly?
  • Does it fit into an existing art theme or with larger art program goals?
Other requirements
  • All artwork must be framed with Plexiglas, not glass.
  • Our standard frame should be used whenever possible.
  • Displays and artwork must be child safe and appropriate for a pediatric hospital environment (rounded edges, secure hardware, durable, cleanable)
  • There should be little or no maintenance requirements.
  • Displays and artwork must meet all state and federal building, fire, life safety and ADA codes including a maximum 4" depth on wall-mounted displays.
