Drawn Together – Help Make Hospital Feel More Like Home is a statewide project that celebrates the places that matter most to us: our homes. More than four walls, home represents safety, love, comfort and belonging.

The Queensland Children's Hospital Foundation has invited the Warwick and Darling Downs community to share what home means to them - creating a collective portrait of Queensland homes and communities. The theme of "home" is a powerful metaphor for the work of Children’s Hospital Foundation: surrounding children with care, colour and joy, even when illness means they can’t be at home.

Warwick Art Gallery will facilitate two 90 minute workshops for ages six and over. Outcomes from the workshop will be exhibited in the Grove Gallery at Warwick Art Gallery 4 June - 11 July. All materials will be supplied by the Gallery and all proceeds of the workshop will be donated to the Queensland Children's Hospital Foundation.

When children are seriously ill or injured, hospitals can feel overwhelming. While doctors, nurses and surgeons provide life-saving medical care, Children’s Hospital Foundation delivers the wrap-around care that transforms the hospital experience, helping it feel more like home. This includes play services, music therapy, libraries, toy drives and family support programs. Each year, more than 14,700 children from the Darling Downs attend outpatient appointments at Queensland Children’s Hospital, with over 1,500 admitted as inpatients. Every donation raised through this workshop directly supports these vital services, ensuring that all Queensland kids - no matter where they call home - are met with comfort, dignity and care when they need it most.
