Gladys Potter Gallery
Call for Artists
The Healing Arts Program at Rhode Island Hospital and its Hasbro Children’s Hospital is seeking artists to display their artwork to highlight the rich cultural diversity of our state and the many talented artists who reside here.
Artworks will be displayed in the Gladys Potter Gallery located in a high-traffic corridor connecting the two hospitals. This provides an exciting opportunity for local artists to broaden their audiences.
All submitted artists will be reviewed by Lifespan’s Art and Signage Committee, and exhibiting artists will rotate every 7 to 10 weeks. Artists who are currently living and/or working in Rhode Island are encouraged to submit up to 15 artworks for review. Multiple artists may be exhibited simultaneously.
