UP, Up, and Away!

Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center Quarterly Art Show
                                    Call to Artists July 2019
“LOOKING UP!”
Works can be scenes from a bug’s eye view, your eyes, or your mind’s eye.
Think treetops, day or night sky views, cloud scenes, mountain tops, outer 
space, or other ideas you dream up that relate to the theme.

The Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center will host a show of artworks 
relating to the theme of Looking Up! This show runs July through September 
2019.

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.

Show Calendar:
Show runs July, August and September 2019
Reception:  Sunday, July 7, 2019    1:00 – 3:00 p.m.

Delivery of Art:
Wednesday, July 3, 2019  2 p.m.
Bring ready-to-hang art with your paperwork to the cafeteria area at 
Southern Coos Hospital on Wednesday, at 2:00 p.m., or make alternative 
arrangements with show organizers.
