Art and photography can contribute to a positive, engaging experience for residents and their families. This webinar will describe the importance of local, meaningful and indigenous artwork that contributes to the quality of life for residents and their care-giving staff. Using a case study from rural Nebraska, this dialogue will capture the perspectives of the photographer, the architect and the provider as they share the impact that local art is having on residents and their engagement. Learn how this approach can translate to meaningful art programs for other unique populations and communities and the importance of art and photography as part of the design process.

  • Explore how comfort and security begin with familiarity to one’s surroundings.

  • Learn about the physics of aging and how changes in eyesight affect art and design choices.

Did You Know?

* Many attendees of The Center for Health Design webinars have inquired about IDCEC approval so they can earn ASID, IIDA, and IDS CEU’s. We have looked into this and unfortunately, the cost to upload courses to IDCEC is simply too high for The Center at this time.

You can still earn credit for attending our webinars by requesting an attendance verification certificate. To obtain a certificate, please contact Natalie Gonzalez, Project Manager, ngonzalez@healthdesign.org.
