Art is a powerful mirror of growth—and EVOLVE, the newest exhibition at Monadnock Community Hospital’s Healing Arts Gallery, invites us to reflect on transformation, movement, and meaning. This inspiring collection will be on display from May 22 through August 11, 2025.

An Exhibition of Change and Creativity

The EVOLVE exhibition brings together the work of five talented regional artists whose unique styles and mediums explore the concept of evolution—personal, artistic, and environmental. Featured artists include:

  • Jean Mann
  • Forrest Bencivenga
  • Scott Niemi
  • Carole Gourvellec
  • Steve Lipofsky

From vivid landscapes to abstract forms, each piece invites viewers to consider the ways we grow and adapt over time.

Opening Reception: Thursday, May 22

Join Monadnock Community Hospital for an opening reception on Thursday, May 22, from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. at the Healing Arts Gallery. Enjoy live music by Larry Ahern, light refreshments, and the chance to meet the artists in person. The event is free and open to all.

Located adjacent to the Sarah Hogate Bacon Emergency Department, the Healing Arts Gallery is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, providing a serene space for patients, visitors, and community members to connect with art.
