As part of the upcoming national 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and the City of Bristol’s local celebration through its Bristol America250 Committee, Wheeler Health and the City of Bristol invite all students in Bristol to celebrate this milestone and our amazing city by creating and sharing original artwork or photography featuring Bristol-focused places, events, people, or iconic symbols. Watercolor and acrylic paintings, color pencil, crayon, or charcoal drawings, as well as all forms of photography, including cell phone images, are welcome!
Winning artwork/photos will appear in a Wheeler-produced 2026 calendar, which will be distributed free while supplies last. Selected photos may also appear in our new community health center and in other Wheeler communications.
Participants are asked to refrain from submitting photos of people without express permission. A Wheeler media release form is available for this purpose.
If you have additional questions, or need a copy of the media release form, please contact Joanne Janes, Associate Director, Communications, Wheeler, 860.793.4403 or jjanes@wheelerclinic.org.
