York Hospital Art Committee Seeks Proposals for 2025 Café Art Gallery

The Art Committee of York Hospital is soliciting proposals for artwork to be displayed in the Café at York Hospital and featured virtually online in 2025. Each exhibition will be on view for three months beginning in January 2025. Installations typically include 15 to 25 works of art; the final number will depend on the size of the pieces and the gallery’s current hanging system. Interested artists should submit, via email, a biography or combined biography/artist’s statement of no more than 500 words and a digital portfolio – consisting of 4 to 6 representative pieces (JPGs, each approximately 1-2 MB in size) or a link to the artist’s website or online gallery – for jury consideration.

Please email all entry materials to York Hospital Community Relations at info@yorkhospital.com. Submissions must be received by Friday, October 18, 2024, for consideration.

The York Hospital Art Committee will review submissions in late October and notify the artists of their decision in November. The Art Committee strives to select inspirational, positive imagery in various two-dimensional media (oils, watercolor, photography, silkscreen prints, etc.) and styles (i.e., still life, land- or seascapes, portraits, realistic or abstract art).

Exhibiting artists will be required to provide digital images of all artwork to be displayed (JPGs of approximately 1080 x 720 pixels at 72 dpi) and a corresponding price list at least two weeks prior to their exhibition start date. A portion of the proceeds from each art sale will be donated to York Hospital. 

After an artist’s artwork has been selected to be exhibited at York Hospital, it is recommended that they wait three years before applying again to give other local artists the same opportunity.
