Art4Impact

An opportunity for schools and their students participate in brightening up hospital walls.

Walls that tell stories of hope

Since 2017, the Art4Impact program invites children and adolescents to engage in a concrete and creative project: bringing joy and hope to hospitals through their drawings.


The most inspiring illustrations are then transformed into murals by our professional artists.

Program Objectives

  • Offer young people a solidarity-driven artistic project, which has a real impact on hospitalized children.
  • Celebrate the creativity of young people and start to give them a voice to improve the world.

For whom?

For schools

An educational program recognized for stimulating creativity, developing empathy and encouraging artistic expression.

For children

A unique opportunity to get involved for others, to feel valued and to highlight your talent.

For hospitals

A series of murals inspired by children that humanizes the healthcare setting and improves the well-being of young patients, their families and healthcare teams.
