Art library | Culture for all in hospitals

The art library carries out numerous actions around the works and artists of its collection for the health communities of the various care establishments available in the region:
1. At the Cadillac Hospital Center: in order to meet the objectives of raising the awareness of professionals and patients in the specialized hospital center, as well as the policy of opening up the establishment to the city, the art library exhibits two selections of 15 works in the establishment each year in a two-month cycle. Groups of patients from the Cadillac Center also come to the art library for selections of works and visits to exhibitions. From October 2021 to January 2022, the art library proposed to patients and caregivers to design an exhibition of 30 artworks from its collection, to be presented over the sites of Lormont and Cadillac. This exhibition was accompanied by educational booklets, workshops for patients and a meeting which was an opportunity for artists to present their films to other artists, patients and staff.
2. At the Regional Hospital Center of Bordeaux, Haut-Lévêque and Pellegrin sites: in partnership with the communication department of the University Hospital and the various teams of the Haut-Lévêque and Pellegrin sites, the art library brings together the nursing staff into sessions of artworks selections that are exhibited throughout the year in several departments: radiotherapy, hepato-biliary surgery, oncology, orthogenics. Booklets are made available in the departments to discover the artworks of the exhibitions. For children, booklets accompanying the artworks are specifically designed for each new exhibition (specific space at the reception).
