Henry J. Austin Health Center Invites Local Artists to Submit Mural Designs for Pediatric Wings

Henry J. Austin Health Center recently announced an exciting opportunity for talented local artists to contribute to the HJAHC’s mission of providing exceptional care and a welcoming environment for their pediatric patients. The Center is seeking vibrant mural designs that capture the diversity of Trenton, foster a sense of community, and inspire a bright future for children. This initiative aims to enhance the healing environment of their pediatric wings at HJAHC’s 321 N Warren Street location and 112 Ewing Street locations, creating a visually stimulating space for their young patients along the way.

Interested artists are encouraged to submit two original mural designs for consideration, showcasing their creativity and vision. It is important that the murals align with Henry J. Austin Health Center’s branding and colors, demonstrate their vision as the center of wellness, and inspire the Trenton community and beyond to attain the highest quality of life. The murals should be bright, positive, and engaging, capturing the attention and imagination of children.

Submission Requirements:

  • Two original mural designs, each reflecting the themes of Trenton, community, and a bright future for children.
  • An artist statement outlining the inspiration and concept behind the designs.
  • Artist’s portfolio showcasing previous relevant work, demonstrating their artistic ability and expertise.

Selection Process:

A committee of Henry J. Austin Health Center representatives, including the center’s Chiefs and Board Members, local community members, and art professionals will carefully review all submissions. The committee will choose three artists’ submissions to proceed to the final selection stage. From these three artists, 1-2 will be selected to create murals at our 321 N Warren Street and 112 Ewing Street locations. The chosen artists will be selected based on their artistic excellence, alignment with the given themes, and ability to create visually engaging murals suitable for the pediatric wings.
