Transforming care through art

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’.

Max Mayo, Monsters & Mayhem

by Marvin Justice Beer & Billie Justice Thomson

This joyful collection of paintings celebrates the pure freedom of creation and collaboration between mother and son.

Monster trucks roar across colourful landscapes, while zombies pop up in unexpected places. Each piece captures the energy, imagination and fearlessness that comes from making art purely for the love of it.

Location: The Green Gallery | Level 2, Zone D, near the Hospital Café.

Through the Window: Sea and Colour

by The Beach Studio

These artworks were created at The Beach Studio a children’s art school in West Beach, by young artists aged between 6–12 years old.

Working from the same still life, each artist explored watercolours and oil pastels to interpret the scene through careful observation, imagination and their own unique artistic voice.

Location: Orange Gallery | Level 1 along the Samuel Way walkway.
