NAP Welcomes Providence Sacred Heart

After meeting the National Arts Program® staff at the Society for Arts in Healthcare conference last Spring, Kevin Benson knew that the NAP would be a perfect addition to their hospital programming. After discussing the benefits of displaying employee artwork with the staff, Kevin was excited to move forward and apply to become a venue in 2012. With more than 6,500 eligible participants, the NAP saw great potential in this new collaboration. 

Once accepted, Kevin brought on Arts and Healing Program Coordinator Ann Walker to help coordinate the First Annual NAP Exhibition at Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center, WA. Together, they did an amazing job of handling everything down to the very last detail.

Their first exhibition featured more than 190 pieces of artwork from 119 different artists, making it a huge success! Ann commented that, “we were blown away and expect many more participants next year.” The NAP looks forward to an even bigger show in 2013!
