Care communities are active environments, with a steady presence of staff, visiting families, and healthcare professionals. While the primary focus of the Living Walls Project is to enrich shared spaces, exhibitions may also create opportunities for artists to gain visibility and for work to be purchased, gifted, or donated.

When appropriate, select pieces may be available through simple, low-pressure channels. In some cases, a portion of proceeds may support the host community, and families or supporters may choose to purchase works for lasting display—contributing to the ongoing beauty and enrichment of the space.

The Living Walls Project is launching with a pilot installation at Redwood Grove in Santa Cruz. This first collaboration will bring a small selection of local artists into shared spaces within the community, creating a warm and engaging gallery presence for residents, staff, and visiting families.

This pilot will help refine the model and demonstrate the impact of integrating art into care environments, with the intention of expanding to additional communities over time.

Living Walls is designed to grow as a thoughtful network of care communities, artists, and supporters who believe beauty belongs everywhere. Over time, the project may expand to include additional host sites, community events, and simple fundraising pathways that support both artists and care environments.
