25 Years in Bandon
Southern Coos Hospital will be celebrating their 25th anniversary in September 2024.
The hospital will be displaying some photographs and documentation of their own drawn from the anniversary date of September 9, 1999, and would like to invite the Art community to join in the celebration by exhibiting a few paintings or photographs that relate in some way to Southern Coos Hospital, or the anniversary date itself. We have room for approximately 10 pieces of artwork that will be shown in addition to the current quarterly show titled Best Friends.
Perhaps you have a photograph of Bandon from that time period, or would like to paint your own experience or memory from 25 years ago, or show artwork that depicts how the hospital has had a positive effect on your life or the life of your loved ones.
Some other things happening in Bandon during 1999 were the opening of Bandon Dunes Golf Course, and the construction of the Sprague Theater in City Park. Were you in Bandon at that time? What memories do you have of Bandon from 1999 that inspire art?
The Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center will host a mini-show of artworks relating to the theme 25 Years in Bandon. This show runs August 26th through September 28, 2024. 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 1 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 Scott McEachern at foundation@southerncoos.org.
