Get matched →The Mandy Lowe Artist-in-Residence Program is an inaugural one-year residency at University Health Network (UHN) that honours Mandy Lowe's contributions to clinical learner education. The selected emerging artist will develop and share creative work within a hospital environment, enriching the health sciences libraries by integrating thoughtful, evocative, and beautiful art into the built environment.
A display wall in the Health Sciences Library at Toronto General Hospital, approximately 14 feet wide, will be available for the completed work. The artwork currently mounted is approximately 4 feet 2 inches by 3 feet 4 inches. Projects may include painting, drawing, photography, printmaking, or other wall-mounted media that can be safely displayed. Artwork must adhere to hospital infection prevention and control best practices (ideally easy to clean, non-porous materials, framed or encased; consideration may be given to material more difficult to clean or damp dusted only) and require minimal maintenance. This space is accessible to hospital staff and students 24/7 for viewing, and to patients and the public during weekdays.

Only the selected applicant will be contacted.
