Goodies from the Garden
In this summer art show we invite you to share your gardening prowess (or someone else’s). Artwork depicting anything found in a flower garden, vegetable garden, rock, cactus, butterfly gardens, container gardens or any other. Use plants to inspire your art and/or mushrooms, snails, slugs, moles, gnomes, rabbits, worms etc. Besides home gardens consider undersea gardens, Shore Acres, Japanese Gardens, Alice in Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz, or outer space gardens. Or explore an imaginary garden plot.
The Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center will host Goodies from the Garden. It runs Monday, July 7, through Saturday, September 27, 2025. 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.
