SVHC corridor gallery exhibits 100 years of donated art

Vermont Business Magazine In honor of Southwestern Vermont Health Care’s (SVHC) Centennial year, the SVHC Corridor Gallery has mounted a special exhibit of pieces donated to the hospital over the last 100 years. It is called A Century of Art Donations. The show features paintings and sculpture from various artists, many of whom have connections to the local area. They include Paul Katz, John Ochocki, Ellen Viereck, and others. Among the internationally recognized artists included are Maxil Ballinger, Harry Bates, and Simon Moselsio, who taught at Bennington College.

“This small selection of works represents a tremendous collection of the beautiful artwork that has been donated to the hospital over the last century,” said Sarah Lewis-Jolivette, who manages the health system’s art and archives. “We are honored to have received these donations and thank the donors and donor artists for their generous gifts.”

The exhibit is open to visitors 7 a.m. – 8 p.m. daily now through August 22, 2018. The pieces in this exhibit are not for sale.

The SVHC Auxiliary manages the Corridor Gallery, the hospital gift shop, Personal Emergency Response System operations, and independent vendor sales. The SVHC Auxiliary has given more than $1 million to support services and equipment upgrades to SVHC over the past 20 years.
