Fund Title: Johnson & Johnson/Society for the Arts in Healthcare Partnership to Promote Arts and Healing Grant Program
Fund Category: HIV/AIDS
Johnson & Johnson, working in conjunction with the Society for the Arts in Healthcare, seeks to promote the use of the arts to enhance the healthcare experience for patients, their families, and caregivers. 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 healthcare settings and to promote healing and preventive health.
J&J/SAH projects are intended to be broad and innovative and may be located in a variety of settings, including clinics, hospitals, hospices, medical schools, public health services, or other community health programs. 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 patientexperience through hands-on visual, literary, or performing arts projects; hiring an artist or 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.
