Things look Better Black and White

Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center Quarterly Art Show

Call to Artists January 2019

“Back to the Basics—Drawings in Black, White and Gray”

The Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center will host a show of artworks created depicting any subject matter using the drawing mediums of graphite, charcoal, pen and ink, brush and ink, or other drawing mediums and implements. Artists may enter 1-3 pieces in all artistic styles: representational, abstract, or futuristic. All works must be able to be hung on the wall. We are looking for work going back to our drawing/mark making roots, primarily in black, white, and gray. Some mixed media but primarily the drawn images are what we are encouraging for the focus of this show.

Please remember 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 a political soapbox. Thank you for your continued positive approach to art in these shows.
