Multi-stage sampling technique and questionnaire was used to collect data from 160 respondents in Federal Medical Center (FMC) and Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB). Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and hypothesis with Chi Square. Result showed that (63.8%) respondents were male, female (36.4%), age (????̅= 49.9), married (72.5%), and well-educated above secondary school (68%). Majority in FUNAAB were administrative staff (74.3%) while FMC, Nurse (89.1%). Respondents’ were aware of pointillism painting wall-hangings (????̅=1.12), however do not know materials used in production (x ̅ = 0.94). Pointillism wall-hanging to communicate for each factor was acceptable; uniqueness- FMC (????̅= 3.04) and FUNAAB (????̅= 2.53); suitability- FMC (x ̅= 2.89) and FUNAAB (x ̅= 2.42); communication: FMC (x ̅= 2.93) and FUNAAB (????̅= 2.91); appearance- FMC (????̅= 3.05) and FUNAAB (????̅= 2.87) with overall acceptability score (????̿ = 2.87). The chi-square result of the hypothesis at p >0.5 reveals that there is no significant relationship between the socio-economic characteristics (gender (χ2 = 0.003); marital status (χ2 =3.582); educational qualification (χ2 =1.623); occupation (χ2 =1.467); place of work (χ2 =2.195)) of respondents and awareness of respondents on pointillism painting.
