WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?

Attention Activity Directors of Nursing Homes and Assisted Living, this Facility Art Contest is for you and your residents!

THEME:

This year’s Facility Art Contest theme is: My Community – Past, Present and Future. Share the story of your community and the people who call it home through the artwork created by the residents of your facility.

CRITERIA:

The art project must be led by activity directors but completed by the residents of your facility. The project should reflect the theme and can include anything from a painting, furniture, mosaic, sculpture, mural, quilt, photography, rugs and more. Your facility creation will be showcased during SDAHO’s Post-Acute Care Conference, where it will compete with others.
