North Shore Health (NSH) has a proud history of displaying the creative work of local artists in its public areas. Since the program began in 2020, it has displayed new local works of art every 4 months in its rotating show.

We are pleased to announce two upcoming events celebrating the power of art in healing and the creativity and cultural identity of Cook County and the North Shore: February-May Artists’ Reception and a Call for Artists for the June-September show. 

North Shore Health Artists’ Reception, May 13, 2026
North Shore Health will host an Artists’ Reception celebrating the February-May art and artists! On Wednesday, May 13, from 4:00–5:30 p.m., join us in the NSH Multi‑Purpose Room and Lobby.

Community members are invited to explore current local art exhibits, meet the artists who contribute to NSH’s rotating displays, and enjoy complimentary snacks and refreshments.

Call for Artists, Applications due May 22, 2026
NSH invites local artists to submit work for the NSH Local Art Show, a rotating public exhibition that highlights the talent and diverse perspectives of artists throughout the region. Artwork will be displayed June 1–September 30, 2026, in high‑visibility areas throughout the hospital for patients, visitors, residents, and staff to enjoy.

The works of art should reflect and celebrate the cultural, historical, geographical, and community identity of Cook County and the North Shore. Art submissions should encourage a feeling of peace and nature consistent with an ambiance of quiet reflection in a health care delivery environment.

Artists may find full details and submission guidelines at: https://www.northshorehealthgm.org/nsh-local-art-show or by contacting NSH’s Public Information Coordinator, Danielle Hefferan, at [email protected] or 218-387-3508.
