Art dans la Cité

Art dans la Cité is an association whose ambition is to introduce art into the hospital in order to contribute to the patient’s well-being, to accompany his or her reception and stay, and to improve the working conditions of the staff. Innovative artistic activities are at the heart of its commitment to healthcare institutions. Convinced from the outset that by soliciting emotions, creativity and contemplation bring more humanity to the hospital, she has harmoniously accompanied the patient/carer care journey with art.

Illuminart

Illuminart is an innovative device imagined and created by Art dans la Cité to diffuse in the patient’s room, waiting and care spaces, works of art, visual and sound contents, chosen by the user. He can, depending on his mood, project an artwork, contemplate it, transform it, immerse himself in it.

The Illuminart Platform

The Illuminart Platform extends this essential activity by offering remote access to numerous services and artistic contents. It is designed for the use of health care institutions to help and advise them to integrate art in their spaces with creations adapted to their needs.

Services and artistic contents are proposed and regularly renewed:

Toolbox

A service that gives access to numerous examples of artistic projects carried out and their impact in the hospital, as well as conferences, testimonials from different actors, that provide additional essential information.

Coaching

You will benefit from a personalized accompaniment to be advised in the choice for an artistic project. You will be guided to define the project that best suits your specific needs (by appointment).

Illuminart Contents

Illuminart artistic contents are films or applications created by artists, to be downloaded, with tutorials, designed to be broadcast in the hospital spaces. They are adapted to your media: tablets, screens, VR headsets...

Workshops

Workshops with artists, either recorded and downloadable, or live upon registration, are offered throughout the year, with regularly renewed appointments. It will be possible to follow the process of creating an artwork with an artist, involving patients and teams.
