Etobicoke, Ontario, Canada
In April, 2017, we installed 44 paintings, 3 Inuit sculptures and 10 photographic works at the Betty and Buster Lockwood Cancer Treatment Centre in Etobicoke.
“… this painting was donated by the family of a woman who had loved this artwork for many years. It now provides some cheery warmth in one of the chemotherapy rooms. Dr. Weinberg says not only does it lift the spirits of the patients, it also inspires the staff.”
Here are some “before and after” examples of how artworks transformed different spaces at this location.

“Art is being used by us as a weapon against the suffering and uncertainty.”
