The halls at Delta Hospital are once again adorned with local art.
Last week, members of the South Delta Artist Guild returned their artwork to the hospital corridors after the Delta Hospital Auxiliary donated $2,600 to install a hanging wall.
The wooden slates allow artwork of various sizes to be hung without damaging the wall.
For the last 15 years, the guild had an informal agreement with the Delta Hospital Auxiliary to display art. That deal saw 85 per cent of proceeds from paintings sold going to the artist and the remainder to the hospital.
"We're delighted to have them back," said auxiliary volunteer and spokesperson Elaine Canning.
Annette Garm, director of site operations for the hospital, said the art will be changed four times a year.
"We're very happy to have it," she said. "It's a wonderful venue for local art."
The guild removed the artwork last fall after Fraser Health Authority instituted a policy that set out new rules on what's appropriate for display and a process for screening.
