Deadline Extended to Submit Artwork for Employee Exhibit

LEXINGTON, Ky. (April 28, 2015) — The UK Arts in HealthCare Program will accept original pieces of artwork created by UK employees for consideration in one of two employee exhibits until May 6.

During its third annual call for employee artwork, the UK Arts in HealthCare program will select employee submissions for inclusion in two exhibits titled "The Healing Presence of Art." Submissions should represent themes of healing and restoration and impart an understanding of how art enhances the health care environment. Pieces will be selected by an independent and external juror and exhibited in one of two employee galleries located in Pavilion H and the UK Good Samaritan Hospital.

Employees can submit up to three two-dimensional pieces of artwork in any medium. Pieces should be no larger than 20 by 30 inches and ready for framing upon submission. Selected pieces will become part of the UK Arts in HealthCare program's permanent collection and displayed at various locations throughout the medical campus with recognition of the artist.

The call is open to UK employees and their immediate family members. The deadline to submit artwork is May 6.
