Proposals Wanted

The Art Committee at AtlantiCare is seeking proposals for a variety of artwork for the Health Park at Hammonton which will be located in Hammonton, NJ.

The committee is seeking artists who reside in the State of New Jersey or the County of Philadelphia who are interested in providing inspirational, healing and refreshing images in a wide variety of mediums including 2‐dimensional and 3‐dimensional artwork, original art, limited edition prints, giclee prints, murals, mixed media art, mosaics, ceramics, sculpture, fabric art, collages, and photography. Existing and commissioned artwork will be considered. Art will be placed in the lobby areas, corridors, waiting rooms, treatment rooms, examination rooms, and other public spaces.

The theme for the building and the art is healing through nature with references to the history and agriculture of Hammonton, South Jersey and the Pine Barren regions. This can be expressed in a variety of ways such as: architecture, sacred geometry, color, community, family, light, movement, nature, line and form, pattern and texture. The committee is open to ideas by artists to express the concept of a natural world that may relate to interfaith, inspiring, and multicultural imagery that is appropriate in a healing environment.

The artwork is being funded by AtlantiCare as part of its commitment to including appropriate regional art in its facilities as a component of creating a healing environment for patients, visitors and staff.

All inquiries should be addressed to Cheryl Broschard, Foundation Project Coordinator. Inquiries should be made by email only to cheryl.broschard@atlanticare.org
