Kunstprosjekt for nytt sykehus i Drammen

Description of initiative

The new hospital in Drammen will be a local hospital for Drammen, Lier, Hurum, Røyken and Sande and have area functions for all residents within the entire Vestre Viken HF's coverage area. The art project for a new hospital is a collaboration between the project organizations of Helse Sør-Øst and Vestre Viken and is led by an art committee consisting of architects, art members, user representatives, employee representatives and representatives from the project organizations. It is a project through which five areas in the hospital, where bot patients and staff will travel a lot, have been selected for new works of art, proposed by several artists. It is an ongoing process in which the artists are developing and presenting their preliminary works, they receive feedback from the art committee and they continue to develop, and produce the works that in 2025 will be placed in the new hospital.
