I am honored that my work has made it to the final round for consideration to decorate the new Mission Hospital for Advanced Medicine. Below is the application information from their website. As it turns out, I didn’t apply, they found my work online and contacted me. They will let me know in February if they will be purchasing my paintings. Very cool!

Mission Hospital for Advanced Medicine Looking for Artists

ASHEVILLE, N.C. (August 14, 2018) — Mission Health, in partnership with EL Design Studios & Gallery VI, is recruiting all artists, galleries and art organizations for work that may be considered for purchase and display at the new Mission Hospital for Advanced Medicine.

Artists are invited to submit images of both 2D and 3D work, with an emphasis on nature and/or culture inspired art. Artwork can be readily available for purchase or an artist may be open to possible commissions. Purchases will be chosen by a steering committee, a panel of Mission leadership, who are charged with selecting pieces that reflect the unique art community and culture of the region. Artists are encouraged to submit pieces that are nature-inspired and culturally inspired to help Mission Health celebrate and represent western North Carolina.

Together, we will build an outstanding art program that reflects the hospital’s BIG(GER) Aim: To get every person their desired outcome, first without harm, also without waste and always with an exceptional experience for each person, family and team member.

This call is open to all artists residing in the following western North Carolina counties: Avery, Buncombe, Cherokee, Clay, Graham, Haywood, Henderson, Jackson, Macon, Madison, McDowell, Mitchell, Polk, Rutherford, Swain, Transylvania, Yancey and Watauga.

Where Will the Art Be Displayed?
The new 12-story Mission Hospital for Advanced Medicine in Asheville will create a significantly expanded state-of-the-art emergency department with 97 beds, consolidated operating, preoperative and recovery space along with interventional cardiology and radiology space that allows for true multidisciplinary, team-based interventional care with the very latest technology. Importantly, the facility was designed to embrace patients and families throughout the care process including sleep-in-rooms and a unique energy-efficiency focus and design that will set a new standard for future innovation. The new tower is set to open in the fall of 2019.
