Call to Artists
The Four Seasons
January 8, 2023 – April 2, 2023
The Four Seasons
Since winter can be gray here – let’s fill the walls with art about all the seasons. Use landscape, still life, portraiture, architecture, abstract, or other works to depict the seasons of the year, or the seasons of life, The Four Seasons band, Vivaldi’s music of the seasons, or any other inspiration that you find in this theme. If you want to submit 4 paintings to portray all the seasons, you may do that.
The Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center will host a show of artworks relating to the theme of The Four Seasons. This show runs January through March 2023. 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 1-4 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.
Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center’s Art Program continues to remain free to enter. Please consider donating to the Hospital’s Art Fund if you are able. For more information, please email Scott at foundation@southerncoos.org.
