The Permanent Collection

We hope the artwork inspires our patients and visitors as much as it inspires the dedicated people who work at The James each day. The James permanent art collection extends from the hospital’s Conference Level to the 21st floor Family Lounge.

Most areas containing artwork are always accessible to the public, with a few exceptions: artwork in the Patient and Family Resource Center on the Ground Floor, the Administration Suite on the 9th floor and the Bloch Café on the 14th floor.

The Resource Center is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m.- 4:30 p.m., the Administration Suite is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m.- 6 p.m. and the Bloch Café is open daily from 7 a.m.- 9:45 a.m. and 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. Artwork in these three locations may not be viewed after hours. In addition, some artwork is located within conference rooms. Please do not enter those rooms while meetings are taking place.
