Each year in July, Galen Medical Group hosts an art contest open to employees and their family members. We were thrilled to see such creativity and talent on display from artists as young as 1!
With no categories and no limits on medium, we received an incredible variety of artwork—from paintings and drawings to photography and beyond. Each piece reflected the unique voices and perspectives within our Galen community, making the contest a true celebration of creativity and connection.
Each year a new panel of anonymous judges chooses the winners, honorable mentions, and pieces to be displayed in the Support Services office in Hixson.
Without further adieu, here are the winners for 2025.
