Founded in 2009 by Dr. Ian Penn (BFA 2010) and Dr. Sandy Penn Whitehouse, the PENN IDEA Art Award was established to link the world of visual art with that of health care via a response by the recipients to site-specific needs at Vancouver General Hospital, UBC Hospital and other health care facilities like GF Strong Rehabilitation Centre. Initially awarded through Emily Carr University of Art and Design to an ECUAD student or alumnus, we are excited to announce that the award has now evolved to include students and postgraduates from other Fine Art degree granting institutions in the Lower Mainland. Over the past eleven years, the winning work has been placed in different areas of our hospitals as part of the VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation Art Collection.
