Cedars-Sinai Marina del Rey Hospital invites artists of all backgrounds—professional, emerging, and student—to contribute original works to our permanent healing art collection in our new facility, opening in 2026.
This is more than a call for artwork. It’s an opportunity to use your creative practice to make a lasting impact. The collection will reflect the spirit, culture, and diversity of Marina del Rey and its surrounding communities, bringing beauty, inspiration, and comfort to patients, families, and staff.
“Healing isn’t just about medicine; it’s about feeling safe, seen, and human. Art helps create that environment. It can ground you when you’re scared, lift you when you’re tired, or even give you a moment of beauty in a really hard day,” says Joanne Laguna-Kennedy, MSN, RN, CENP, FACHE, Vice President of Hospital Operations at Cedars-Sinai Marina del Rey Hospital.
We are seeking donated works in all mediums that can help create a restorative and uplifting atmosphere. Whether your art is bold and expressive, calming and meditative, or deeply connected to place and identity, it has the power to play a vital role in the healing process.
Selected pieces will become part of a museum-level collection in a non-traditional setting—where your work will be experienced and remembered by thousands of people every year.
