Colleagues who have ever sketched, painted, photographed or created something now have an opportunity to share it with the entire medical center community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nebraska Medicine and UNMC\u2019s Healing Arts Program is launching its first staff art exhibition, and colleagues across both organizations are invited to submit original artwork for display later this year. Selected pieces will be featured from October 2026 through March 2027 in the level 1 art gallery at the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center \u2013 Nebraska Medical Center. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition will highlight the creativity of medical center colleagues and offer patients, visitors and staff a chance to experience a different side of the people behind the care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To\u00a0submit,\u00a0visit this webpage to\u00a0complete the\u00a0online form<\/a>\u00a0and upload a high-resolution image of the artwork by Friday, July 31.\u00a0Submissions will include basic details about the piece, along with name,\u00a0department\u00a0and contact information.\u00a0With questions, email\u00a0the Healing Arts Program<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Art plays a powerful role in healing environments, not just for patients but for those who care for them. Programs like this have been shown to help reduce stress and burnout by giving people an outlet to recharge and express themselves outside of their day-to-day work. This exhibition brings that idea to life by creating space for staff to show up not just as professionals, but as people with passions, perspectives and stories to share. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All Nebraska Medicine and UNMC employees are welcome to\u00a0participate, regardless of experience level. The exhibition will feature two-dimensional original artwork, including painting, drawing, photography,\u00a0printmaking\u00a0and mixed media. Each employee may\u00a0submit\u00a0one piece, and all submissions will be reviewed anonymously.\u00a0An online, virtual gallery will include all qualifying entries, and a selection of works will be chosen by a guest juror for the physical exhibition.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artists will be notified\u00a0Friday, Aug. 28, and it is anticipated that accepted artwork should be delivered between Sept. 1-3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
