The next Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center and Southern Coos Health Foundation Quarterly Art Show is titled “Oregon – Shades of Green.” 

Whether Spring, Summer or Winter, and even Fall, Oregon’s color palette is full of Shades of Green. Colors like chartreuse, emerald, aqua, olive, mint, sage and more abound. From kelp forests to fir forests and oak forests, greens dominate. Agriculturally, Oregon fields are full of orchards, wineries, grains, grasses, cranberry bogs, blueberries and Christmas trees. 

A drive from the coast to the I-5 corridor is a blur of rivers, forests and farms – all in shades of green. Help us celebrate Oregon’s lush and beautiful bounty.

The Southern Coos Hospital & Health Center will host Oregon – Shades of Green.  April 5^th is Easter, so the show starts Monday, April 13^th and runs through Saturday, June 27, 2026.  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 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. Please try to bring work that hasn’t hung in the Hospital Art Shows before.

The Southern Coos Health Foundation’s Arts Program continues to remain free to enter. Please consider donating to the Art Program if you are able. For more information, please email Amy Moss-Strong at [email protected].
