From the beginning, the Students' Art Gallery has pursued five main goals:   to demonstrate that the hospital community recognizes the value of  creative activities in the total growth and development of every child.   to encourage children and teenagers to perceive the hospital as a comfortable, non-threatening place by familiarizing them with the setting without involving any kind of medical treatment.   to reduce the anxiety level for those who visit the KidsInclusive Centre for Child & Youth Development by enhancing the appearance of the hospital environment.   to provide a non-competitive and widely accessible forum for meaningful student artwork.   to enable young people to experience the deep sense of satisfaction that comes with helping others to feel better.
