St John of God Health Care, we believe the arts play a significant part in the healing and wellbeing of individuals and communities.

We are very pleased to support the Black Swan Prize for Portraiture for a third year. It is WA's only portrait prize and is now celebrating it's 10th anniversary. We are particularly excited to host three mini-exhibitions. Following the exhibition of the finalist's work at the Art Gallery of Western Australia, a selection of artworks will be exhibited at our hospitals in Midland, Murdoch and Subiaco.

Artists will also be sketching portraits of patients, visitors and caregivers on select dates (see below).

This is a wonderful and unique opportunity for our patients, caregivers and members of the community to enjoy the high calibre portrait works from some of Australia's most talented artists.
