Art Program Exhibition Application 2024

We’re now seeking submissions for our 2024 seasonal exhibition and arts learning program at Sydney Children's Hospital, Randwick! 

Each season 5 exhibition sites across 3 floors of the Hospital are transformed with a rotating exhibition schedule. Featured works include those by patients, children and young people, independent and emerging artists, mid-career and senior artists, community groups, institutions and curated group shows.View our previous exhibitions.

This year we are excited to implement seasonal themes across the Art Program calendar findings ways to build intentional lines of connection across all aspects of the Program.

We invite you to connect with our themes and share your creative works, concepts and future imaginaries to be shared with the Hospital community; fostering opportunities that enrich our social, emotional, mental and physical wellbeing.
