State Clinic Seeks Artist

The Health Clinics of Utah (state owned/operated medical and dental clinics) is opening a new location in Salt Lake City. These clinics serve diverse communities across the life span.

For this new location, we are looking to incorporate decor that will reflect an inclusive and friendly atmosphere. One key piece we are hoping to create is a framed collage of diverse images (multicultural, life span, gender, etc). Another area that requires special attention is in the children's area waiting room. We would like a mural of diverse, multicultural images or faces that would be age appropriate and fun, to be painted on the walls of the Children's Waiting Room in the dental clinic. The room is approximately 10 X 14 and the mural will cover the walls from the chair rail upward.

We are seeking assistance from you to connect CMH with a willing artist(s) (professionals or students) who would provide this necessary element to this facility. Funding is limited for such projects however CMH believes that it is very important to have decor that makes everyone feel welcome. Construction and move in is being completed now and ribbon cutting is tentatively scheduled for the first week of December.

This artwork will be located in prominent locations and will be enjoyed for many years to come. Any assistance or feedback you could provide is greatly appreciated. Please contact Christine Espinel 801-273-4137 or cespinel@utah.gov

Thanks in advance for your help.
