Gallery & Exhibition Program

The WCH Foundation’s Arts in Health program coordinates four art galleries located in the Women’s and Children’s Hospital.

The ‘Heart Galleries’ bring visual art to the Women’s and Children’s Hospital community to provide patients and their families spaces of distraction and entertainment, helping to alleviate the stresses of having a child in hospital. The gallery spaces are just one way our Arts in Health program helps to achieve better health outcomes for patients and their families.

New exhibitions are installed every three months and predominately feature the works of up-and-coming South Australian artists.

In addition to the four Heart Galleries, our Arts in Health team work closely with the Hospital community to deliver ‘pop-up exhibitions’.

These are our exhibitions that are currently on display.

Young Plant Carers | Year 6 students from Blair Athol North B-6 School & Louise Flaherty

Celebrating the important work that dedicated people do to ensure the legacy of native plants and habitats. Looking closer, the artworks are considerate individual and collaborative reflections on nature.

Location: Blue Heart Gallery | Ground Floor, Zone A, WCH – near the entrance to Allied Health and Hospital School.

Entangled Dreams | Sally McKinnon

Painting brings Sally a sense of calm and joy like no other. Painting has always been her meditation, her way of expressing that which she didn’t have the words for.

Location: Pink Heart Gallery | Level 1, Zone F – just past the Queen Victoria Lecture Theatre

Four With Milk and Honey | Arlon Hall

Arlon’s practice investigates the relationship between line, colour and form, fusing these elements together, exploring the moments in between and in collision.

Location: Green Heart Gallery | Level 2, Zone D, WCH — near Hospital Café.

East of the Sun | Mia Guerrieri

The exhibition celebrates the joy that can be found in the nature of people and the unexpected moments in life.
