Just wanted to say your team was incredibly helpful in creating an unbelievable ‘experience’ for my grandmother for her 95th birthday.  You were able to take “then and now” pics and translate them onto two separate canvases in an incredibly elegant and impactful way.  We made the 2 canvases the centerpiece at the big Bday party…Needless to say “NaNa” was deeply touched.  Thanks again.

Warm Regards,
Jed

While we love our canvases, something tells me the centerpiece of that party could have only been NaNa!  Canvas Press is honored to contribute to the celebration of such a special event.  Thank you for your testimonial Jed.

After contacting Canvas Press, your Commercial Art Project Manager (CAPM) will help you plan your project as well as meet your budget and deadline.  There are several healthcare wall décor solutions available from Canvas Press.  Canvas Press’s main product, the gallery wrapped canvas, can be used in a variety of ways to ensure your healthcare environment is individualized and inviting. 

Employee Walls

Patients are often eager to return home while staying in a healthcare facility.  A wall of employee photos printed on canvas is a way to create a connection between patients and hospital staff.  Retiring employees as well as distinguished employees can be recognized with large specialty canvases.  These prints may include text with the employees name, position and years of service on the bottom.

Vision Statements

Displaying the healthcare facility’s mission statement on canvas in a very visible spot within the facility can serve as a reminder for employees of their greater purpose on a daily basis.  This makes your wall décor solution serve a dual purpose of art and relationship builder.

Logos

The hospital may want to display its logo in the main entrance. Healthcare funding donors may also be highlighted with canvas art.  Oftentimes, donors come from very different industries and individuals.  By using custom printed canvas art to display donors, it is ensured the logos will be formatted in a cohesive manner with similar sizing and texture.

Expansion Highlights

It can often take as long as a decade to complete healthcare renovations.  It is important to keep healthcare visitors and donors excited and informed about the transformation.  For under $200, a 30” by 40” canvas can be updated each quarter to keep everyone updated on the progress.

Inspirational Stories

Hospitals can often be places of stress.  Having cancer survivors’ stories and photos, for instance, lining the walls can serve to calm visitors.  This moves beyond art as a wall décor solution and into art as a reflective story of those who inhabit a space.

Calming Colors

Colors have meaning in all cultures.  White for purity, red for love, and yellow for happiness – all colors have understood cultural meanings.  Abstract patterns of a certain color can be hung on healthcare walls to create a desired mood.  Check out the Abstract section of the Canvas Press sister site www.ReallyBigCanvas.com.

Photography

Photographs are particularly nice wall décor solutions in healthcare facilities as they evoke an immediate human-to-human relation.  Smiling faces within a photo deepen this relationship even further.   

Signage

Canvas prints may also be used as signage to direct traffic flow within a healthcare facility as well as indicate reception locations, restroom entrances and waiting areas.

Art Interaction

Not all wall décor solutions have to be DO NOT TOUCH items.  Photos may be printed in the center of a large white canvas.  The white border areas may be signed with thin black Sharpie markers by patients and visitors.

Easy cleaning is a major benefit of using canvas as a healthcare wall décor solution.  Simply wiping the dust away with a gentle stroke completes the cleaning.    Additionally canvases are extremely safe because of their light weight and lack of glass.  Canvas Press products arrive with special hardware included to minimize the possibility of art falling if bumped by a patient.  Specialty safety hangers are available upon request.

Time Out New York http://newyork.timeout.com/ writer Rachel LeWinter featured Canvas Press in her Mom’s the word Mother’s Day write-up. The article’s descriptor read Show your madre you love her (without breaking the bank) by giving her one of these fun gifts- all $50 or less. Our canvases were pictured in a dining room setting alongside numerous other nifty gifts such as Brookstone’s digital-photo key chain, Beth Mueller’s ceramic milk-bottle vases, and Fred Flare’s flowers in a can.

A Michigan Art Director sent his agency’s take on Canvas Press:

I am an art director at an ad agency in Michigan. We decided to take our mission, vision and values and lay them out with some typographical styles. When decided on printing we explored several vendors and products, but we’re so happy we chose Canvas Press. The artwork turned out beautifully and the gallery wraps look amazing in our office in the creative neighborhood we work in. Thank you so much for such an amazing product. We’ve already ordered another canvas and plan to work with Canvas Press in the future.Best,
Aaron

Many of our customers are artists or art hobbyists who use canvas printing as a cost effective way to reproduce their work. The artist photographs or scans his or her original and uploads the digital version to CanvasPress.com. Canvas Press will photograph your art if you drop it by our store front at 33 Cypress Blvd Ste 100, Round Rock, Texas 78665.

It seems one of the challenges an artist faces is generating publicity for his or her work therefore I decided to share an article I found on Mashable.com (http://mashable.com/2009/03/12/youtube-artist/).

Videoblogging isn’t just for teenyboppers with Flips. It’s a simple way professional creatives can make use of high traffic sites like YouTube() to showcase their work and communicate with their audience in a fun and effective way.

The article lists 5 ways artists can use YouTube:

1. Tell a story – Tell the story of how each of your works came to fruition including what inspired you as well as the work’s subject matter.
2. Make a tutorial video – Share your knowledge and see the positives you get in return.
3. Make videos about YOU – Put a personality to your crafts.
4. Make your painting videos art – Set up the tri-pod and record while you create.
5. Make testimonial videos – Share videos of art shows, collectors’ comments and fans.
