Art of Healing Exhibit & Event

Sechelt Hospital Foundation is carefully planning a safe and engaging event this Fall.

We are thrilled to host the second Art of Healing exhibition and fundraising event during the 2021 Sunshine Coast Art Crawl (October 22-24^th). 

The Art of Healing Event will bring together a cross-section of our most engaged business and philanthropic communities, plus Art Crawl participants with the desire to support the Sechelt Hospital Foundation. Sponsors will receive higher value, wider exposure, and a deeper connection to the local hospital and frontline health care providers.
