Burke Rehabilitation Hospital, located in the heart
of Westchester County, New York, is one of the country's premier free-
standing physical rehabilitation hospitals. Founded in 1915 and
designed by the eminent architectural firm of McKim, Mead & White,
the beauty of the Burke campus is reflected in its impressive brick
archways and lushly landscaped quadrangle. This creative legacy serves
as the inspiration for a new and exciting fine art program created
exclusively for artists with physical disabilities. The program is proud to
present a "Holiday Card Competition" for artists with physical
disabilities. Formal training or previous exhibition experience is not
required. Inclusion of Burke's architectural elements would be a plus.
Entry should be non-religious. All work submitted for consideration
must have been created following the onset of disability. Type or level
of disability will not be considered in the judging process. There are no
entry fees. We would like to encourage both emerging artists and
experienced artists to enter. This competition is for you.
For inspiration feel free to visit us @ WWW.BURKE.ORG
