Partnership to Promote Arts and Healing Grant Program
Johnson & Johnson/Society for the Arts in Healthcare

Proposals are being sought from healthcare organizations and/or arts agencies working in partnership to produce innovative projects to serve patients, their families, and caregivers in the healthcare settings and to promote healking and preventive health.

Preference will be given to projects that are new initiatives and have the potential to be replicated. Projects might include creating new exhibition space and/or curating arts and healing exhibitions; transforming the patient experience through hands-on visual, literary, or performing arts projects; hiring an artist of artists to design architecturally integrated or portable work for a public space; creating a healing garden for a new healthcare setting; and other activities designed to advance the incorporation of the arts into the delivery of healthcare.

HIV/AIDS is a special emphasis for 2005. In addition to projects serving broad patient populations and healthcare providers, funds will be reserved for arts programs serving those living with HIV/AIDS, their families, and/or their caregivers.

Application deadline: August 22, 2005
