The art program at Columbia Basin Pediatric Dentistry is all about the patients. As part of a full-scale renovation led by Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic (YVFWC) and Wolfe Architectural Group (WAG), the artwork was thoughtfully curated to complement the colorful, whimsical updated interior. Each piece is connected by a common “sky” theme, creating a welcoming, playful, and inspiring environment for the children and families who visit.
From Cecilia, the Art Advisor
“This project was an exciting opportunity to leverage the transformative power of art to create a playful and inviting atmosphere. The teams from Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic and Wolfe Architectural Group were a joy to work with. They had a clear vision for the project and fully embraced the mission to tailor the collection to pediatric patients and their families. We utilized TurningArt’s gallery page software to streamline theme development and aesthetic alignment, ensuring everyone was thrilled with the final selections.
The clinic’s new interior design provided a strong foundation. We aimed to complement the primary color palette while introducing an uplifting 'sky' theme, which ties the collection together using imagery of balloons, clouds, and anything that flies. The result is a body of work that not only enhances the design but also infuses the space with a calm and welcoming energy.”
From Emily, Interior Designer at Wolfe Architectural Group
“Working with Cecilia was a wonderful experience. She prioritized our goals, centering the patient experience and staying true to the theme of the collection and design of the space. In a pediatric setting, we wanted to ensure the artwork was resonant, fun, and soothing.
The 'sky' theme worked beautifully, aligning with the interior design direction and offering imagery that is engaging and appropriate for all young visitors. TurningArt’s robust catalog allowed us to source the perfect artwork to fulfill YVFWC’s vision. Finding imagery that is universally comforting is a unique challenge yet crucial in a pediatric space, and their team was instrumental in helping us achieve that goal."
