2 About AFTS calming, restorative, healing arts Since 2006, the groundbreaking Beaumont Arts for the Spirit (AFTS) Program has provided an environment of healing and comfort to our patients, visitors and staff through the visual arts, in 14 public galleries located throughout our system. The first purpose of Beaumont AFTS is to provide a restorative atmosphere in which art renews the human spirit. We see this as a natural extension of the Beaumont Healthcare mission: To provide excellence in care, healing and health to the individuals and communities we serve. But we also present art to please and entertain all who visit our galleries and to bring recognition to the work of new and established artists in diverse media, styles and subjects. Beaumont Arts for the Spirit galleries are located at: Beaumont Hospital - Dearborn Beaumont Hospital - Wayne Beaumont Hospital - Taylor Beaumont Hospital Trenton Beaumont Hospital Grosse Pointe Oakwood Physical Therapy and Wellness Center, located in Dearborn, MI An Invitation Beaumont Arts for the Spirit Program is seeking artwork submissions for the 2017 exhibit year. Beaumont AFTS seeks artwork that creates a peaceful, restorative and healing environment. We look for artwork that can provide a pleasant distraction to our viewing audience. The art shown in our galleries must complement the healing process, reduce stress and anxiety and provide a pleasant distraction to all who encounter it. A sensitivity to our primary viewing audience (patients, visitors and staff) is our highest priority. Beaumont AFTS will accept 2-D and 3-D entries for exhibition in watercolor, acrylic, oil, pastel, ink, pencil, photography, fiber, metal, wood, stone, fired media such as ceramic, glass or clay, or mixtures of these media. We hope to inspire an ever-changing sample of the best art the area has to offer. Exhibitions are rotated quarterly. Beaumont AFTS Call for Entries
