Community Workshop to help sick kids
The community is being invited to pick up a pencil and share what home means to them as part of a special art workshop to be held at Warwick in support of children receiving care at Queensland Children’s Hospital.
Last year alone, more than 1,900 families from the Southern Downs region received care through Queensland Children’s Hospital and support from the Children’s Hospital Foundation.
To show support for these local families, the Children’s Hospital Foundation alongside Warwick Art Gallery will host Drawn Together: Help Make Hospital Feel More Like Home a community workshop at Warwick Art Gallery, facilitated by artist Karina Devine this Friday and Saturday 10 and 11 April.
Locals of all ages and abilities are invited to create a drawing of their home or what home means to them.
The workshop forms part of a statewide community art project bringing together drawings from across Queensland to create a collective portrait of the places that mean the most to us.
Through the generosity of communities across the state, the Children’s Hospital Foundation delivers wrap-around care that helps make hospital feel more like home - bringing comfort, connection and moments of joy for children and families during incredibly difficult times.
Artworks created by the Warwick community will be exhibited as part of the Drawn Together gallery exhibition at Warwick Art Gallery from 4 to 11 June and showcased online in the Children’s Hospital Foundation’s Virtual Gallery at childrens.org.au/home.
Community members can book a spot at the workshop via https://www.warwickartgallery.com.au/drawn-together-workshop with all proceeds being donated back to the Children’s Hospital Foundation.
