Best Friends
July 7, 2024 – September 29, 2024
Best Friends
This theme has a broad meaning, anything to do with things, people, animals, flowers, who have a kinship of some sort. People and their pets, people and their friends, people and their cars, plants in the garden that love to grow next to each other, two or more trees grouped in a landscape, moon and stars, waves and beaches, clouds and rain, a pair of bears, deer or other animals, birds in a nest, telephone poles in a line. It’s about showing the comfort or happiness of two (or more) things together.
The Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center will host a show of artworks relating to the theme Best Friends. This show runs July 7, 2024 through September 29, 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 1-3 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 Scott McEachern at foundation@southerncoos.org.
