The Art Program is delighted to present the final rotation of exhibitions for 2023 with five new displays filling the corridors of the Hospital from December 2023 - February 2024.

Brilliant artists, generous families and in-hospital friends and partners have contributed to our exhibition program – each with unique perspectives which invites the viewer to explore, reflect and celebrate through diverse artistic encounters.

Some of the artworks on display are available to purchase, with a portion of each sale donated to the Foundation. If you would like to purchase one of these incredible pieces, please contact the Art Program by phone 1800 770 122 or email info@schf.org.au.

ExtraOrdinary

Artist: Josephine Andrews

ExtraOrdinary is a collection of paintings depicting subjects found in everyday life. For Josephine Andrews, painting is a mindful practice that allows her to see the familiar afresh and provides a reprieve from the pressures that come with caring for a child with a rare condition and its associated issues.

Re-Framed Livewire

Artist: Livewire

As part of Re-Framed, Livewire asked young people to create new worlds with hidden stories and unexpected characters. Taking old paintings and reimagining them with a vibrant twist using kooky collage, young artists worked together on multiple artworks with a collaborative spirit.
