Art from the Heart Program Winners Selected
On behalf of the Foundation for Quality Care and the New York State Health Facilities Association/New York State Center for Assisted Living, we are pleased to announce that the artists have been selected for the 2022 Art from the Heart wall calendar.
We tasked our panel of independent jurors with the challenging assignment of choosing 13 pieces from 81 submissions provided by nursing home and assisted living residents from across the state. This year, a total of 57 member facilities participated in the program and entries were received from every NYSHFA/NYSCAL Region. We recognize and applaud all the inspiring artists for sharing their talents. The 13 selected pieces will be featured in the 2022 “Art from the Heart” wall calendar.
