ABSTRACT

As part of a 'Culture in hospital' initiative, street art was displayed in the grounds of Théophile-Roussel hospital, a public mental healthcare facility in Montesson. Professional graffiti artists organised a street art festival, aimed at patients, children, teenagers, adults and the medical and educational staff. This article describes this innovative initiative and the role of cultural and artistic projects in care.
