GAINESVILLE, Ga. – The new patient tower at Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville is set to open in 2025 – and the hospital is looking to add some extra character. Northeast Georgia Health System has put out a call for local artists to submit their work for a chance to have it featured in the new, 11-story tower.
The goal of adding artwork across the 11 floors is to enhance the emotional well-being of patients, families and staff. The artwork selected will reflect local views of nature in northeast Georgia.
Up to four digital images or photos can be submitted by each artist at nghs.com/art and should be a minimum size of 20 inches by 20 inches. The art submitted should be an existing piece of work to show the artist’s style and should fall into one of the following mediums: oil, acrylic, pastel, watercolor, glass, mosaic tile, photography, metal or mixed media.
Artwork should be in full color, and depict recognizable landscapes, including orchards, waterscapes, florals and garden scenes that represent the local geography and topography. Preference will be given to artists living or working locally in Banks, Barrow, Dawson, Forsyth, Franklin, Gwinnett, Habersham, Hall, Jackson, Lumpkin, Rabun, Stephens, Towns, Union and White counties. The deadline to submit is May 31, 2023.
