This place is a sanctuary in the hospital, with exhibits that last about a month or two. And look out for all of the activities like the drum circle, and sound baths, as well as workshops.

Cool art gallery in the UofA hospital. The art gallery changes it exhibits every so often. It’s a nice change of pace when you’re at the hospital just waiting around. I would recommend coming here for a quiet place within the hospital and also educate yourself with an artist work.

The McMullen Gallery is an art gallery in the University of Alberta Hospital and it's really great that people visiting the hospital have the opportunity to view art, attend events here, and occasionally purchase gifts. My most recent trip here was to view items from a Christmas sale, but I've also been here to browse more traditional art shows, or to attend lectures or events. It's nice as it is very transit accessible, available to all those visiting the hospital, and near the University so it's convenient for student/staff/professor populations as well. The space isn't overly large, and is often run by Friends of the University Hospital volunteers (depending on the nature of the event). Usually you can visit by paying a donation or for free, but some special events may have cost attached and sales obviously have a higher pricetag depending on the nature of the art on display/for sale.

The McMullen Gallery located in the University Hospital is an absolutely wonderful place for patients and their families, as well as hospital and university staff or anyone else who happens to be passing through, to go and enjoy art and a peaceful respite from the stress of daily life or being in a hospital setting. I used to work in the Clinical Sciences' building and would go to the McMullen Gallery on my lunch breaks. More recently my father-in-law was having surgery, so my mother-in-law, my husband and myself had a long day of waiting and trying to pass the time. The exhibit that was on was fantastic, featuring two local artists, and when we were finished looking at the art, we sat down in the chairs around a low table and just talked and looked at magazines. For an hour we were able to think a little bit less about what was going on and have a nice, calm place to be in without feeling at all like we were in a hospital. Patients were coming through as well and I think that's a really nice thing for them to be able to do. It's also worth noting that the gallery offers free drop-in art classes every Thursday from 2-4pm. If I lived or worked anywhere nearby I would love to take advantage of this. I also noticed that they are offering meditation classes! There are plenty of pamphlets and art magazines laid out at the desk. You can follow them on Twitter or Facebook to get updates about upcoming openings and shows.
