Heal and Create
Art in Hospitals
This program was developed at the Classrooms in the Cruces and Basurto Hospitals and aims to help students keep up with their school subjects. Art comes to the hospital via the Collection and the Museum’s exhibitions.
Art in Hospitals is targeted at children aged 3 to 16 who need long-term or day medical care. Based on an interesting program of art-based activities, teachers help them keep up with the Art contents in the school curriculum.
Art & Mental Health
This program, conducted by artists and educators outside the Museum, is designed in close collaboration with professionals in the mental health sector. It is targeted at kids, youths, and adults undergoing integration and rehabilitation processes.
Museum artists/educators come to the Ortuella and Hogar Izarra therapeutic/educational facilities to show patients new ways of looking at reality and new forms of expression as provided by art. Participants create their own works in a fulfilling aesthetic experience. In addition, artists/educators accompany participants in their visits to the Museum.
