This November, Sydney Children's Hospitals Foundation (SCHF) and Sculpture by the Sea are joining forces to make a difference. This partnership merges the transformative power of art with the life-saving work of kids’ healthcare, inviting the public to participate in a cause that touches hearts and saves lives.

For over 25 years, Sculpture by the Sea has enchanted visitors with stunning outdoor exhibitions at Bondi. Attracting over 450,000 art lovers annually, this free public event showcases the talent of local and international artists, creating a vibrant cultural experience. However, maintaining this world-class exhibition requires ongoing community support to ensure its sustainability and success.  

At Sydney Children's Hospitals Foundation (SCHF), we know the incredible role that art can play in the lives of sick kids, with 91% of children reporting that art made their stay in hospital better.

Childhood is a precious time that should be filled with laughter, play, and joyful memories. Unfortunately, for thousands of children in Sydney Children's Hospitals Network (SCHN), illness has put their childhood on hold. With your support, we can bring the magic of art to children and families navigating the most challenging times. We can also provide new equipment, training and education, groundbreaking research, and state-of-the-art facilities to help sick kids get back to the childhood they deserve.  

We invite you to be part of this extraordinary initiative. Your support will not only sustain the free, world-class sculpture exhibitions that have captivated millions but also ensure that all kids have access to the best possible care, whenever and wherever they need it.   

Together, we can make art accessible and great healthcare possible.
