Spring Art Exhibitions

September - November 2022

The Art Program is proud to present the third rotation of exhibitions for 2022, with five new displays filling the corridors of Sydney Children’s Hospital, Randwick from September to November 2022.
Sugar Glider and Corymbia Gummifera (2022) Eggpicnic

These exhibitions demonstrate the generosity and creativity of the artists who have developed them for our special audience. They also depict the talents of children who have been inspired to help support the Hospital.

Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation Art Program works collaboratively with the Hospital to deliver creative exhibitions to create a vibrant, reassuring and colourful place of healing and culture for patients, families and staff.

Unfortunately, due to the restrictions put in place to manage COVID-19 and to protect the staff and patients, we are unable to invite members of the public to view these displays in person.

Many 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 on 1800 770 122 or email info@schf.org.au.

Between You and Me

Eggpicnic

We have an undeniable bond with animals. They represent what we love the most and our collective and family imaginaries are filled with narratives that reflect this essential connection between us. Bring the animals to life through our augmented reality experiences. Fly with the Gang-Gang cockatoos and take a walk with the Wood Ducks!

Billability – “I love making people happy"

Bella Stokes

Bella is an 18-year-old woman with significant physical limiting cerebral palsy. She has been a patient of Sydney Children’s Hospital, Randwick for most of her life, in good time and some hard times. This exhibition demonstrates when you find a passion, limits can lift. Art is non-discriminatory ability, love, and voice at its finest. Bella shows this through her digital creations, favouring animals and landscape paintings, showing her passion and skills, and that her limitations will not limit her.
