Operation Art is an initiative of the Children’s Hospital at Westmead in association with the Department of Education and Communities.

This program encourages students from Kindergarten to Year 10 in all NSW schools to create artworks for children in hospital. It is an important state wide visual arts exhibition that focuses on creating a positive environment to aid the healing and recovery process of young patients. They’re fun and they’re vibrant – visit and see.

Downstairs in The Art Factory ‘Operation Artist’ Rachael Ireland uses photographic imagery to create spaces, atmospheres and interiors that are both playful and creative, making the exhibition space alive with interactive possibility.
