Contribute a record

Suggest an installed work, a study or a correction. Missing information does not prevent inclusion: fields that are not published are shown as such.

Prepare a contribution

Complete the relevant fields, review the prepared entry, then send it with your email app or download a copy. This form does not send or store submissions on the website. Nothing is submitted until you send the email to research@publicart.health.

Do not include patient information or confidential material. Public source links are preferred. If sending a photograph separately, include the photographer’s credit and permission to publish. Contact details are for editorial follow-up and are not part of the public record. Your email provider handles the message when you send it. Entries are lost if you leave without downloading a copy.

Installation details

Use “not known” where a required fact is unavailable. Missing consultation or evaluation data does not prevent review.

Editorial follow-up

An installed work

The installation register documents sculpture and other three-dimensional works permanently placed in healthcare settings. Paintings, murals and photographs remain within the scope of the research library but are not yet recorded in the installation register.

Required

  • Artist, title, institution, city and country
  • Year installed, or “not known”
  • Setting (indoor or outdoor) and form or material

Optional

  • A photograph. If you supply one, include the photographer’s name and permission to publish it here; verified records are published without photographs when none is available.
  • Dimensions, commissioning route, consultation, any evaluation and public sources

Institutions without consultation or evaluation data are welcome to submit: those fields will read “Not published”. The same standard already applies to most records in the register.

A study or source

Send the full citation and a link to the primary source. If you can, add the population, setting, art form, outcome and design. Eligibility does not depend on a favourable result; see inclusion rules.

Corrections to existing records are welcome by the same route and are logged on the Methods page.

Review queue

Sources and installations suggested since the September 2026 launch. Listing here is not inclusion: items join the research library or installation register only after verification and appraisal, and they are not counted among current records.
