Hospital hosts youth art exhibition

About 200 pieces of artwork by young people from across Victoria were displayed during the Centre for Adolescent Health’s annual Young People’s Art Exhibition at the Royal Children’s Hospital.

The artists included hospital patients, students and young people who are disadvantaged socially and educationally, because of health concerns or through geographic isolation.

Comedian Rod Quantock opened the Exhibition and artist Joel Ma discussed art as a means of communication.

National Gallery of Victoria Education Officer Brian Pryke also took part in the launch.

A performance by a group of Royal Children’s Hospital patients told of their experiences with adolescent life and health issues.

The Exhibition was organised by the Centre for Adolescent Health Administration Team.
