Grande Ronde Hospital Foundation Launches Annual Art Auction Featuring Local Talent and Community Creativity
The Grande Ronde Hospital Foundation is excited to announce the launch of our annual GRH Foundation Art Auction, a vibrant celebration of creativity, community, and compassion. This year’s auction brings together an inspiring collection of artwork from local artists, GRH employees, and longtime friends of the Foundation—each piece offered in support of expanding access to high-quality healthcare right here at home.
At the center of this year’s auction is featured artist Eric Valentine, whose breathtaking landscape photography and artistic storytelling have become beloved across eastern Oregon and beyond. His contributions—ranging from sweeping wilderness vistas to intimate reflections of our region’s natural beauty—offer bidders an opportunity to bring home a piece that is both visually stunning and deeply rooted in the place we all call home.
But Valentine is far from alone. The auction also showcases a diverse array of creative works from across the GRH family. From seasoned artists to first-time contributors, each donor has poured their time, heart, and talent into pieces that reflect the spirit of generosity that fuels our Foundation.
Auction Dates
The 2025 GRH Foundation Art Auction will run from December 1 at noon through December 22 at noon. Bidders will have three full weeks to explore the collection, place their bids, and maybe even find the perfect holiday gift.
Pickup & Delivery
After the auction closes, pickup and delivery arrangements will be coordinated individually, with every effort made to ensure winning bidders receive their artwork before Christmas. Whether you’re local or supporting from afar, we’ll work with you to make receiving your piece simple and convenient.
Why Your Bid Matters
When you participate in the GRH Foundation Art Auction, you’re not just purchasing a beautiful piece of art—you’re making an investment in the health and vitality of our region. Every dollar raised directly supports the Healthier Together Campaign, helping us expand clinical capacity, invest in modern equipment and technology, and ensure that patients can access world-class care close to home.
We are deeply grateful to Eric Valentine, our talented employee artists, and the many friends of the Foundation who have shared their creativity to make this auction possible. Their generosity reflects the best of what it means to be Healthier Together.
Stay tuned for the official auction link and preview gallery coming soon. Thank you for helping bring art and healthcare together in such a meaningful way.
