Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center Quarterly Art Show
Call to Artists April 2025
Roads Less Traveled
In this spring quarterly art show we invite you to get away from it all. Use these experiences to paint or otherwise create artwork. Even if you are unable to jump in your car and head out to the backways and byways of Oregon, or elsewhere, you can take that trip in your imagination or memory. Or scroll through your photos and sketchbooks to remind yourself of those special experiences wandering the shore, rivers, woods, mountains or desert. You could also explore your inner travels using emotions and your senses to inspire artwork for this show.
The Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center will host Roads Less Traveled. It runs April 7th through June 28, 2025. As usual, you can be creative in your interpretation of the theme, keeping in mind that art on the hospital walls is meant to entertain and de-stress the patients, families, staff, and general visitors. It is not a venue for nudity, violence, morbidity, or as a political soapbox. Thank you for your continued positive approach to art in these shows.
Artists may enter 3 pieces using painting, collage, mixed media, drawing, photography, or assemblage in all artistic styles: representational, abstract, impressionistic, or futuristic. All works must be able to be hung on the wall.
The Southern Coos Health Foundation Arts Program continues to remain free to enter. Please consider donating to the Art Program if you are able. For more information, please email Amy Moss-Strong at AMossStrong@southerncoos.org.
