If you've been in Butler Urgent Medicine, you know we have great art. Wellness is more than medicine - it is more than body. It is layers of human existence. We know good art won't make you feel better when you're ill. But good art- creating it, appreciating it, experiencing it stimulates the mind, moves the heart, and sometimes repairs the soul. Good art is anything that makes you feel something. Sometimes, art is powerfully healing for the things medicine can't touch. With that in mind, Dr. Henderson, who loves art, is sponsoring an art contest. Theme: Fairy Tale. Media: Any. Requirements: It must be hung on the wall: bring it framed, mounted, or ready to hang. Lose papers that aren't wall ready can't be submitted. Sadly we have no place for sculpture or mixed Media. Ages: All. Bring your art to the office (with contact information). You do not have to be a patient or a patron of Butler Urgent Medicine - we invite anyone in the community to submit art to hang and display. We will hang it, display it, and proudly show it off to the public. Content: This is an all ages office. Sexually explicit, heavily violent art is not appropriate for this venue.Think "PG-13" rated or under. Final Rule: only original art: Absolutely NO AI (artificial intelligence) or digital art. Recopying/reproductions works of recognized artists will be considered plagiarism and will be disqualified. We want YOU to create. What might you win: Kids: 2-12: 1st Place: $50.00. 2nd Place: $35.00. Third Place: $20.00. Teens: 13-19: 1st Place: $75.00, 2nd Place $50.00, 3rd Place: $25.00. Adults: 20 & Older: First place $125.00, Second Place $75.00. Third Place: $50.00. Deadline: December 1st. We'll hang all art for 90 days, then return it. Judging of art will be in December 2025, just in time for the holidays. Bring us your "Once Upon a Time" or "Happily Ever After"- show us your villians, heroes, love stories, adventures, or fantasy. The sky is the limit. (Staff can participate but will be exempt from winning a prize!)
