St Andrew’s Hospital is a living memorial to those affected by war and as such, the centenary ANZAC commemorations in 2015 are of great significance to us. As part of a year of activities, we are conducting an art competition open to Australian artists for work that will hang within the hospital. This is an acquisitive award of the winning work. A selection of other works will be hung as part of an exhibition.

The theme of the competition is Healing after Conflict .

St Andrew’s War Memorial Hospital was opened in 1958 after extensive community fundraising as a living memorial to those who fought in the two world wars of the twentieth century. The hospital commemorates ANZAC day annually and our beginnings as a War Memorial Hospital are not forgotten today.

We now have a wide range of patients and specialties but a significant number of veterans and serving soldiers, as well as their families, attend our hospital. We are proud of our history of healthcare to those who served.

  • Healing after Conflict” can be interpreted widely. It is intended to:
  • signify the positives that can emerge after a period of conflict •visually depict the theme of healing, and •symbolise the place of art in the healing space.

Prize

$25,000 will be awarded to the winning entry.
