At the Art Firm, our design philosophy centers on evidence-based design – using research and proven EDAC methodologies to shape art decisions. We believe art is a transformative element of healthcare design, so its impact on well-being informs every selection of color, imagery, and placement. Our healthcare art consultants collaborate closely with your clinical and design teams to ensure art complements the architectural plan and patient care goals.
We implement EDAC guidelines at each curation step by prioritizing artwork intended to reduce stress and improve patient outcomes—for example, nature landscapes that remind patients of familiar, calming environments or abstract pieces with soothing color schemes that provide positive distraction during anxious moments. We also pay attention to scale and placement: maintaining consistent artwork heights and sightlines can create a sense of visual harmony in corridors, aiding orientation and calm. Our approach is research-driven and empathetic, blending clinical insight with artistic creativity.
Thought Leadership: We continually advance our practice through research and sharing insights. In a recent Art Firm blog article on color and balance in healthcare art, our team discussed how integrating biophilic artwork and regional color palettes can foster familiarity and reduce hospital anxiety. This commitment to thought leadership and EDAC-driven innovation ensures our clients receive state-of-the-art consulting grounded in proven healing design strategies.
Our experience as healthcare art advisors spans projects large and small, from leading hospitals to specialized clinics. Below are a few examples of how the Art Firm has helped healthcare clients transform their spaces through art:
The Art Firm curated and installed a cohesive art program for this hospital's new 20,500 sq. ft. medical-surgical unit (8th Floor). We blended local photography and biophilic design with the hospital’s faith-based mission – incorporating nature imagery and subtle spiritual themes to provide comfort and positive distraction for patients of all backgrounds. Using EDAC-driven art selection and close collaboration with the design team, we achieved a harmonious, healing environment that aligns with other floors and reduces stress for patients and staff. (See our Case Study for Adventist White Oak for complete details.)
Engaged by Fresenius Medical Care, the world’s leading dialysis provider, we developed an exclusive healthcare art program for their outpatient clinics across the U.S. Our team curated a collection of 188 unique artworks tailored to enhance the healing environment of dialysis treatment spacesready2hangart.com. Each piece was hand-picked to balance calm, inspiration, and warmth, fostering a welcoming atmosphere for patients undergoing treatment and the caregivers and staff. This nationwide art rollout showcases our capacity to implement consistent, scalable art solutions that adhere to healthcare guidelines while reflecting local sensibilities in each clinic.
