Artist collaborations

Newport Artists Collective and University Orthopedics collaborate to showcase local art in Middletown facility

The Newport Artists Collective (NAC) has announced a partnership with University Orthopedics to exhibit NAC members’ artwork in the newly opened 10,000-square-foot facility located at 34 Valley Road, Middletown.

This collaboration aims to enhance the healing environment for patients and staff by integrating local art into the medical setting.

The spacious facility offers the potential to display between 20 to 30 pieces of art on a rotating basis. All exhibited artworks will be available for purchase through the exhibition software at universityorthopedics.artcall.org. Upon the sale of a piece, new artwork will be selected to maintain a dynamic and inspiring atmosphere.

Call for Art Submissions

NAC invites artists to submit works aligning with the following themes:

  1. Nature Scenes: Tranquil landscapes featuring mountains, forests, or oceans with soft, natural colors.
  2. Human Movement & Anatomy: Artistic representations of muscles, bones, joints, or abstract depictions of activities like running and sports.
  3. Motivational & Uplifting: Positive quotes about strength and healing, or images showcasing individuals overcoming physical challenges.
  4. Local Artwork: Pieces reflecting the local community or created by local artists.
  5. Soft Abstracts: Simple, soothing designs in neutral tones with flowing patterns suggesting movement and flexibility.

Artists can apply at universityorthopedics.artcall.org. A selection committee comprising NAC and University Orthopedics representatives will review submissions and select artworks for display in the medical offices and facilities for a minimum of six months.

Each displayed piece will feature a QR code and the artist’s name, including details of the art and pricing. Additionally, a master single-page handout of all pieces and prices on display will be available. A gallery of the art on display can be viewed on the NAC website, allowing patients, clients, doctors, and staff to appreciate and purchase the artworks.
