KMAA members are invited to submit their artwork for the next Northern Westchester Hospital Art Display, which will run for 12 months. The collaborative effort between the Katonah Museum Artists' Association and Northern Westchester Hospital provides an unusual and important opportunity for KMAA Members to exhibit their work, and more importantly, to brighten the daily lives of patients, doctors, hospital staff, and visitors. This decades long program, started by KMAA President Emeritus, Dyan Rosenberg, continues to enrich and communicate with the public

​
