Kids: Send Us Your Masterpieces !
To meet the health-care needs of the fast growing community of Greater Issaquah/Sammamish, Swedish is building a new medical center in the Issaquah Highlands. The new campus is being developed in two stages. The first stage is the opening of a medical office building and outpatient center in July 2011. Stage two is the hospital, which opens in November 2011.
In an effort to be an engaged community partner and improve the healing environment of our new facility, we would like to feature digital images of artwork or photos by children or young adults who live on the Eastside (open to children and young adults ages 5 to 18). The digital images selected will be turned into long-lasting pieces of art to showcase in the new Swedish facility.
"Art plays an important role in creating a positive, welcoming and healing environment," says Janette Turner, a member of Swedish's Art Committee. "When deciding on what works of art to display in the new Swedish Medical Center/Issaquah, we knew we wanted to feature local artwork. And, what better pieces to include in the facility than works by children who live the in area.”
“Art or photos by children can often be the most healing and touching pieces, as they truly come from the heart and are often shaped by their own experiences. We look forward to showcasing works by these young members of the community.”
Digital images of artwork must be submitted for consideration by 11:59 p.m. on April 11. The artwork and an accompanying release form must be emailed to swedishartissaquah@gmail.com. For complete details and conditions, and to download a release form, please visit www.swedish.org/issaquahart. All submissions must comply with these rules:
