Artwork in Our Hospital

UP Health System – Marquette Featured Artwork

UP Health System – Marquette demonstrates its commitment to making communities healthier by continually working to improve health in the communities it serves by engaging with its patients and leading through quality innovation and advanced knowledge.

This mission is reflected in the artwork chosen for the hospital campus—built in 2019—which captures UP Health System’s love for its hometown community and the greater region it serves. This is achieved through visual interpretation of the natural landscape and community values of the Upper Peninsula and Marquette, MI, in partnership with local artists, as well as fine artists from around the country.

By tying these concepts together using evidence-based design principles and natural elements for inspiration, we have provided an art package that’s healing, welcoming, and comforting to patients and visitors.

Local Art Rotating Exhibit

Art can play a significant role in health and the healing process. To promote these benefits, UPHS-Marquette is partnering with UP artists to maintain a rotating exhibition of local artwork in designated public areas of its facility. The exhibit will allow for sculptural/3-D displays and 2-D hanging displays, on a temporary basis, which will allow local artists the opportunity to showcase their works.

To enter a piece of artwork for display at the hospital, please read and sign the following Art Exhibit Policy and complete the Loan Agreement; then submit the forms, along with a JPEG photo of your work to Marketing@mghs.org. You will be notified via email if your work has been accepted, and exhibit dates, as well as drop-off instructions, will be communicated at that time.

To comply with our picture hanging system, all hanging displays must be framed and hanging wire must be installed by the lender prior to delivery. See the example below.

For other inquiries, please look over the policies and direct any questions to Marketing@mghs.org.

PLEASE NOTE | UP Health System will not be held liable or offer insurance for exhibited works, therefore it is highly recommended that artists procure and maintain coverage of their own works during its display period at the hospital.
