Art for Thundermist Health
Wakefield, RI – Corporate Art Group has recently completed an oceanic-themed art installation for the Thundermist Health Care Facility in Wakefield. Art consultant Briana Rignanese worked closely with Thundermist to develop an art package that brought a sense of peace to patients while stylistically flowing throughout the entire facility. Creating an art package for a healthcare facility is a completely unique process from any other industry. Whether it is an assisted living facility or a blood lab, consultants at Corporate Art Group collaborated with interior designers to create an atmosphere that maintains patient and staff well being. A total of 41 artworks ranging from photography, painting, and sculpture was incorporated into the Thundermist facility. Seascapes can begin to look the
same; to keep the artwork refreshing, Rignanese made sure to use pieces that were original and dynamic. Photographs of local beach scenes were printed inhouse, on large-format printers, and stretched as a gallery wrap for the exam rooms. Abstract images with strong nautical elements were displayed using a floater frame, giving the works a contemporary feel.
