 Local artists of all ages are being invited to display their work in the new Cheshire Hall Medical Centre in Providenciales. “One thing that is obvious to both staff and patients alike is the lack of lack of colour and vibrancy on the interior walls throughout the centre,” said Interhealth Canada Chief Executive Jim Trainor. “We do already have some lovely art that was worked on by the public as part of ArtFest in March, but we do feel the need for additional pieces, focussing on local talent,” he said. ArtFest, part of the Foundation for Hospital Art, was brought to the Turks and Caicos Islands by part-time residents Dick and Sue Hammill, whose Hammill Family Foundation supported the project. Art also has been donated by the Foundation for Hospital Art, which provides art for hospitals worldwide. “We have been listening to people’s comments, and a lot have said how nice it would be to see art of various forms on some of the corridor and waiting room walls,” Trainor said. “This hospital belongs to the people of TCI, and so it would be fantastic if local people decided what it look like inside.” “Art comes in many different forms, and it would be great to see paintings, photographs and maybe even sculptures around the place,” he said. “There may even be the scope to do large collages and murals with varying themes such as the sea, the islands or similar.” Trainor asks anyone interested in displaying art at the Provo hospital to contact him at 232-9535 for more information.
