Better Together

Better Together
The theme Better Together is about two or more things which go together. Like ham & eggs, sand & sea, or moon & stars, black & white, surf & turf, red, white & blue, song & dance, ebb & flow, rhythm & blues.
There is a country music song by Luke Combs titled Better Together. Listen to it on YouTube for more ideas, or look on the internet for “things that go together.” It can be people, pets, sky & clouds, birds & trees, two peas in a pod, unicorns & glitter, pairs of things, horse & rider, sunshine & shadows, cats & kittens, trees & tire swings. Landscape, still life, seascape, people, colors, you name it. Have fun with it!
Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center and the Southern Coos Health Foundation will host a show of artworks relating to the theme of Better Together. This show runs October through December. 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.
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.
