A major donation to a Vancouver hospital foundation will ensure that visual art engagement contributes to the healing process, including psychological and social wellbeing, for patients.
The St. Paul’s Foundation announced on April 7 that the Audain Foundation donated $4 million for public art to be a part of the new St. Paul’s Hospital at the Jim Pattison Medical Centre. The donation represents one of the largest grants the Audain Foundation has given among its over $133 grants given to registered charities with a visual arts focus.
Construction for the new $2.2 billion facility, located on an 18.4-acre site at the False Creek Flats, commenced on March 12, and it’s slated to officially open in 2027. It’s the most expensive healthcare facility to be built in Vancouver.
