The Art Program is delighted to present the second rotation of exhibitions in the 2025 exhibition season, with four new displays filling the corridors of the Hospital from June - August 2025.

Artists, patients and their families and some of our Sydney Children’s Hospital partners have contributed to our exhibition program, each with unique perspectives that invite the viewer to reflect upon and celebrate our hospital community 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 Programby phone1800 770 122 or emailart@schf.org.au.

Ripples of Light

Each photograph captures sunlight in a unique way, with a close up macro lens. The textured glass window refracts lightwaves, creating an intriguing visual experience. The source and refraction of the light can be elusive, making it difficult to pinpoint where it originates.

Ngala Nanga Mai

Ngala Nanga Mai is a program for parents of Aboriginal children aged 0-5 in the La Perouse area, established in 2009 by the Department of Community Child Health at Sydney Children’s Hospital (Randwick). Ngala Nanga Mai means “We Dream” and was named by the participants of the Group to reflect their hopes and aspirations. The program uses art to build on the resilience and agency of the women attending the group and as a creative expression of identity and belonging.
