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’.

This series of paintings explores the intimate bonds between people and their small pets that offer comfort and joy and can support our healing.
Some of the animals featured in this exhibition are the companions of the artist and her family, while others belong to hospital staff.

by Leah Newman
Leah marvels at the wonder that was once there, juxtaposed
against what our world faces now, our contemporary human condition and our dislocation from nature. These so called ‘weeds’ are simply misunderstood plants.
Location: The Green Heart Gallery | Level 2, Zone D, near the Hospital Café.

Beneath the Blue
by Jenny Berry

Her love for the ocean and its undersea creatures is evident in her incredibly detailed paintings.
