Art has a unique ability to comfort, inspire, and connect us. At Monadnock Community Hospital’s Healing Arts Gallery, we believe in the power of creativity to support emotional and physical well-being. Our Birds of a Feather exhibition, now available as a virtual gallery, brings that mission to life.

This exhibition features stunning works by local and regional artists who explore the grace, mystery, and symbolism of birds. Whether soaring through expansive skies or perched quietly in the trees, these feathered creatures invite reflection and peace. Each piece was selected to evoke a sense of freedom, resilience, and renewal—offering a moment of calm to all who view them.

The Birds of a Feather Virtual Gallery allows you to experience the exhibit from anywhere. Whether you're visiting from home or sharing it with a loved one, the gallery is open 24/7 and accessible to all at no cost. It’s part of our commitment to making art a part of the healing journey for patients, visitors, staff, and our community.

Explore the gallery online now and let these powerful artworks lift your spirit.

This exhibition brings together a diverse group of artists whose work invites us to observe, reflect, and reconnect with nature. Each piece in Birds of a Feather offers a personal lens on wildlife, emotion, and the natural world—often rooted in the artist’s own community connection to Monadnock Community Hospital.

Together, these artists remind us of the healing power of art and the ways in which we are all connected—like birds of a feather.
