Art Workshop | Cultura e Salute

Foundation Onlus has activated a multi-year programme of studies through the first national platform title Cultura e Salute (‘Culture and Health’), together with over 60 cultural institutions. Among the pilot projects staged at St Anna, together with the Education Department of Castello di Rivoli, the Foundation activated what it calls a Cantiere dell’Arte (‘Art Workshop’) in order to transform healthcare spaces on the basis of patients’ desires. With collective painting projects – involving more than two thousand people – passageways, waiting rooms and whole wards have been given a new lease of life, becoming more hospitable with images and colours evoking the pleasantness of a garden, a metaphor dear to every culture.
