Operation Art 2022 Exhibition

Each year, schools across New South Wales are invited to participate in Operation Art, an initiative of The Children’s Hospital at Westmead. Operation Art is a program which provides students with a forum to display their artworks publicly through exhibitions at the Armory Gallery, Sydney Olympic Park and the Art Gallery of New South Wales. 

This year the Operation Art exhibition showcases 630 artworks from students in Kindergarten to Year 10 across the state. Of these artworks, 50 have been selected by a team of judges to tour NSW regional art galleries before being gifted to The Children’s Hospital at Westmead as part of their collection, promoting health and wellbeing through art.

Four of our MLC School artists are showcasing their artworks in this exhibition. You can see their artworks below.

Olivia – My Pastel House (2021)

Colette  – My Pastel Farm House (2021)

Zoe – Fluorescent Still Life (2021)
