2024 Virtual Art from the Heart Program

The Foundation for Quality Care, Inc., and the New York State Health Facilities Association/New York State Center for Assisted Living (NYSHFA | NYSCAL) are thrilled to launch the 20th Annual Virtual “Art from the Heart” program, which is designed to spotlight the artists who live in member facilities.

NYSHFA | NYSCAL members are invited to submit the entry form and a photograph of their resident’s artwork online or via email.

Those of you who are fortunate to work in the skilled nursing and assisted living professions are well familiar with the special gifts and images created by the residents entrusted in your care. As your Statewide Association we believe it is important to continually recognize the creative abilities of your dynamic residents.

Last year, 78 entries were submitted from across New York State and 13 pieces were chosen for the 2024 Wall Calendar.

As in the past, an independent panel of judges will select 13 winning entries which will be featured in the 2025 Art from the Heart wall calendar and will also be displayed on the NYSHFA | NYSCAL website.

The entry form and a photograph of the artwork may be submitted online at www.nyshfa-nyscal.org/fqc/art-from-the-heart or via email to joconnor@nyshfa.org. Do not send the artwork in the mail.

The deadline for entries is August 16, 2024. 

The “Art from the Heart” calendar will be distributed to the artists, their families, NYSHFA | NYSCAL member facilities. Please join the many facilities which have participated previously.  Have some fun and help us recognize the talented and vibrant artists who reside in your facility.
