JUNE 1, 2021 -- NH+C has completed construction on a major expansion of its Birth Center. New features include a Water Birth Suite; spacious new labor & delivery and post-partum rooms; new nursery; expanded waiting room. All spaces have modern design, state-of-the-art equipment, and thoughtful amenities. (See photos below.)
We want to enhance this fresh new space with artistic photographs of newborn babies, and pregnant women.
NH+C is hosting an open call for local photographers who would like to have their photo(s) considered for display in the Birth Center.
Babies in photographs must be 6 weeks or younger. Photos of babies being born will be considered. Photos of newborns with parents, and photos of pregnant women are welcome too. Photos will be chosen based on quality of the photo itself, and how it fits with our décor.
Photos will be on display in Birth Center hallways. They will be displayed in frames 24” x 30” (vertical or horizontal). Photos will be on display for up to 2-3 years. There are 30 display spaces.
NH+C’s goal is to showcase a range of photographers, with 1-2 photos from each.
