Healing Arts Gallery Reopens: The Monadnock Exhibition

A New Chapter Begins for the Healing Arts Gallery

Celebrating the Reopening with the Monadnock Exhibition and a Special Mural Unveiling

Art has the power to inspire, bring people together, and promote healing—values that are at the heart of the Healing Arts Gallery at Monadnock Community Hospital (MCH). After a temporary closure, we are thrilled to announce that the Healing Arts Gallery has reopened, marking its return with an exciting new exhibition and a special mural unveiling.

The Monadnock Exhibition: A Tribute to Local Artistry

To celebrate the gallery’s reopening, we hosted a special exhibition titled Monadnock, which ran through September 8th. This exhibition showcased the works of over 30 local artists, each offering their unique interpretation of the iconic Mount Monadnock. The diversity and creativity on display highlighted the deep connection our community has with this beloved natural landmark.

The Monadnock exhibition not only honored the local landscape but also reaffirmed the gallery’s commitment to supporting regional artists. As the region’s only 24/7/365 gallery, the Healing Arts Gallery provides a unique platform for artists to share their work with the public, enhancing the healing environment of MCH.

The Mural: A Lasting Legacy

The unveiling was made even more special by the presence of Lee Dunholter and his family. His wife, Soosen Dunholter, who volunteers in the Healing Arts Gallery, and their daughter, Molly Dunholter, who is a Certified Medical Assistant for Monadnock Regional Pediatrics, joined us for the event. Their attendance underscored the personal connections and community spirit that the gallery embodies.

Looking Ahead: Quarterly Shows and More

Katharyn Ernst said, “We’re pleased to share that a permanent mural titled The Mural, by artist Lee Dunholter, was unveiled during our centennial celebrations on June 3rd, and is now on display near our Gallery entrance adjacent to the Sarah Hogate Bacon Emergency Department. Lee and his family were in attendance, making it a very special event for all who attended.”
