Seven Oaks General Hospital has dedicated a hallway to be a permanent, rotating gallery wall.
This inaugural exhibit is part of the hospital’s initiative to showcase emerging artists and create a healing environment for patients and visitors.
The goal is to ignite patients’ spirits, connect them to compelling stories in the artist’s work and embrace those in our community who have overcome challenges and healed.
A portion of the proceeds from each painting sold during the exhibit will go to the Seven Oaks Hospital Foundation.
Gibril Bangura is the first artist whose ‘happy paintings’ will brighten Seven Oaks Hospital’s hallway for the next four months.
The opening reception of this unique and inspiring program was held on Thurs. Apr. 30.
Super article, Doug. Wonderful photos. Magnificent art!! Seven Oaks shows foresight and leadership. Super opportunity for this fine artist, and others. Art is meant to be seen, felt and experienced, doesn’t it.
