Abstract
This article explains the experience and results of an educative and artistic workshop which is called “Make your selfportrait” by artist Virginia Vallés. The experience has been running by Education Area of Es Baluard Museum in Palma de Mayorca, Spain, and Son Dureta University Hospital with Semicritics children. The experience belongs to the program “Contemporary Art in Hospitals”. The program start in 2009th and there are three Museums working on it besides Es Baluard. The aim of the program and the experience is to improve the quality of life of patients, first breaking the routine and then approaching to Contemporary Art and its expressive possibilities. Taking this experience we defend the roll museums are playing nowadays as sociocultural communicators and how Contemporary Art could be a way of working for the health of people at hospitals.Downloads
