The Problem

Oscar, the therapy cat for the children’s unit in the Austin State Hospital, has recently passed away. Oscar was beloved by both staff and patients, and we aim to commemerate the togetherness he brought to the community. Because the hospital no longer has access to art tharapists, and many parts of the playground had to be removed, hopefully the mural will inspire creativity and encourage participation in the community garden.

Our Plan

paint the design on 6x9 plexiglass panels, which will be installed in the entranc of the children’s unit. The matirials will be scourced by Austin State Hospital.
