Lake Charles Memorial Hospital's Young at Art Program celebrates the budding artists of our community. Each month, LCMH will feature art from elementary schools in Calcasieu Parish. Paintings and drawings will be displayed along LCMH’s wall of art, located in the hospital.

Our community, families and friends are encouraged to show their support for our children by stopping by to view the artwork on display.

At the end of each month, the top three works of art from each class will be chosen and will receive a $50 savings bond, compliments of your community hospital, LCMH.

Art Guidelines

Artwork displays for January through December will be scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis.

Teachers and instructors should call the Marketing Department at LCMH at 337-494-2934, well in advance, to schedule the month that your students’ artwork will be displayed.

Students must be enrolled in grades K - 5 to participate.

Artwork must be original and must be submitted on an 8.5” high x 11” wide sheet of paper (landscape format). Each student’s name, school, teacher/instructor and grade should be listed on the back of the artwork.

Artwork should portray positive themes and settings. Individuality is encouraged; however, the hospital reserves the right not to display artwork that we feel is of a questionable nature (i.e., violent, gory, etc.).

Parents and guardians will be notified by mail that their child’s artwork is on display.

Artwork will be judged by a panel of LCMH volunteers. Each month a press release will be distributed to the media announcing the previous month’s honorees.

Each participant will receive a certificate of appreciation and a small gift, compliments of Lake Charles Memorial Hospital.

The Young at Art Program is sponsored by Lake Charles Memorial Hospital. For additional information, contact our Marketing Department at 337-494-2934.
