Art Territory

Project title

Meno Teritorija

Description of initiative

Territory of Art is a project of the educational program "European School of Arts" of the national program Vilnius - European Capital of Culture 2009. The aim of the Art Territory project is to change the world by bringing more colors and good thoughts, joy and serenity where it is sorely lacking - in the Santariškės Vilnius University Children's Hospital. Art Territory uses art to create My Territory - a space closed to and for each person, decorated with unpretentious, understandable, selective and diverse art. An art that allows you to cuddle and talk about the colors and shapes that live in a hospital with children who have been here for half an hour or for a whole month. Besides the artworks that will enliven the hospital walls there is also an international conference, entitled Art for Health: Experiences and Perspectives that plans to bring together artists, health professionals, art managers, scientists and art therapists to discuss the relationship between art and health, about the impact of art on health or about art programs in hospitals.
