Collaboration is the key to outstanding healthcare art programs that meet both individual facility goals and create integrated visual experiences. In fact, the most successful projects are those in which you cannot tell where the architect’s/designer’s job ended and the art consultant’s job began. Ideally, owners, architects, designers, art consultants, way finding experts and others work together in a collaborative process to create a seamless experience for patients and visitors. This webinar will provide a roadmap for establishing a collaborative process that results in an effective and valued art program.
