Integrated Art Group is proud to announce that our founder and owner, Margaret LeMay, will
be presenting at this year’s National Organization for Arts in Health Conference
(NOAHCon25).
The annual NOAH Conference brings together leaders across arts and health to explore
timely topics, share best practices, and inspire collaboration and innovation in healthcare
and community settings. This year, Integrated Art Group will contribute to the conversation
by highlighting one of our most recent capital projects, UW Health Eastpark Medical
Center.
Using this project as a case study, the presentation will explore how art can be thoughtfully
integrated into healthcare spaces to create environments that promote healing, foster
connection, and support institutional missions. Key questions the session will address
include:
• How to seamlessly integrate artwork into interior design while maintaining brand
integrity
• How to gain buy–in for art programs and budget effectively
• How to source and support local artists within healthcare projects
The session will also examine the broader role of art in healthcare, from reducing patient
anxiety and supporting caregiver resilience to strengthening ties with the community.
Drawing on research–informed strategies and real–world examples, Integrated Art Group
will share practical insights on best practices for art selection, planning, and placement, as
well as sustainable funding models that ensure the long–term success of art programs.
As a creative solutions firm dedicated to advancing the role of art in healthcare, Integrated
Art Group is excited to participate in this year’s conference and contribute to the growing
dialogue around evidence–based design. We look forward to sharing our experiences and
engaging with designers, administrators, and artists who are committed to creating
inclusive, inspiring spaces where people work, live, and heal.
