Touch of Our World

Open Your Imagination & Come Into Our World of Touch

A collaborative artist exhibition with Helen Keller Services

Touch of Our world- open your imagination and come into our world of touch. is a celebration of deafblind artists and the powerful ways they experience and express the world. This exhibition honors connection beyond sight and sound, inviting viewers to engage through touch, texture, movement, and story. Each artwork reflects resilience, identity, and the shared human need to be seen, felt, and understood. Together, these works create a space where every voice—spoken or unspoken—belongs.

Featuring a diverse range of mediums including tactile art, sculpture, mixed media, and interactive work, the show highlights the many ways artists communicate and share their lived experiences. This exhibition invites the community to slow down, engage through touch and presence, and recognize the richness of perspectives that expand how we understand art and one another. How we understand how we go through the journey of mental mapping in creating the art.

Photography Show Juried Competition & Exhibition

by Grace Lucarelli | Mar 9, 2026 | Opportunities, Past Exhibitions, Past Opportunities

Photography Show

Get on Board: Planes, Trains & Automobiles

Juried Competition & Exhibition

Planes, trains and automobiles are part of our everyday lives but they can also represent memories for each of us or even excite our appreciation for design. Our thoughts can also be aroused even in the absence of these modes of transportation. Train tracks, tire tracks, or the cloud streaks from a plane can create a feeling of anticipation of what is about to arrive or memories of what has departed. There are so many stories to be told. Use your creativity and artistic photographic skills to tell your story of what these modes of transportation mean to you.

High School students are invited to submit artwork for consideration for this exhibit.

Deadline: February 10th at 10pm

Awards & Reception: Sunday, March 1st, 3-5pm

Exhibit on View: March 1 – 22

Vote

Having had wonderful care for my heart at Saint Francis Hospital several years ago, I was inspired to enter the “Long live Long Island” landscape exhibit. The medium that I usually use is pastel, however for this competition artists were asked to submit photographs of uplifting and inspirational subject matter. I thought this recent shot taken on a stormy day in Port Jefferson Harbor captured the theme perfectly.

“Breaking Through” Gráinne de Buitléar- Artist and Patient

The artwork brings warmth into the building. It changes the energy of the space.

Staff Member

St. Francis Hospital & Heart Center

The St. Francis Hospital community has admired your photographs immensely over the past 6 months. The Long Island landscapes have given our clinicians, patients, visitors and staff a moment of peace on a hectic day. I frequently hear stories of how the photographs allow for our colleagues to have a moment of meditation, providing a beacon of inspiration to everyone who walks down our Art Guild hallway. We look forward to seeing the continued rotation of creativity and talent on display through this exhibit. Thank you for showcasing our beautiful island, reminding us all that we are truly so fortunate to live here.

I was here visiting my mother and looking at the photos gave me peace.

About St. Francis Hospital & Heart Center

St. Francis Hospital & Heart Center is Long Island’s safest, most-awarded heart program. The flagship of Catholic Health, Long Island’s only faith-based health care system, St. Francis is consistently ranked as one of the best hospitals in the nation for Heart & Vascular by U.S. News & World Report. For 2024/25, U.S. News also ranked St. Francis as among the nation’s best hospitals in seven other specialties: Orthopedics, Neurology & Neurosurgery, Gastroenterology & GI Surgery, Pulmonology & Lung Surgery, Geriatric Care, Urology and Diabetes & Endocrine Disorders.

St. Francis Heart Center’s award-winning cardiovascular services are available to patients throughout Long Island, accessible at fellow Catholic Health hospitals, including Good Samaritan University Hospital, Mercy Hospital, St. Joseph Hospital, and St. Catherine of Siena Hospital. For two years in a row, in 2023 and 2024, St. Francis Hospital & Heart Center was awarded the nationally recognized HeartCARE Center designation by The American College of Cardiology
(ACC)—the only ACC HeartCARE Center designation in our region, including the five boroughs of New York City, Long Island and Westchester, and is one of only two HeartCARE Centers in the state.
St. Francis Hospital & Heart Center has consistently been recognized as one of the safest hospitals in the country, receiving 23 “A” grades for safety from the Leapfrog Group—the most for any hospital in Nassau, Suffolk and Queens Counties. In 2024, St. Francis received its 5th consecutive 5-star rating from the Centers for Medicare Services (CMS), the first hospital on Long Island to receive this 5 star ranking. The St. Francis Hospital Nursing department has earned the prestigious Magnet designation for nursing excellence four times in a row, an honor less than 9% of hospitals nationwide have received.
