Enjoy the still or the film with new art at hospital

Framed stills taken from short films have been placed along the main corridor of Forbes Hospital with QR codes so patients, staff and visitors can watch the animated works in full on their phones.

This is part of Arts OutWest’s ongoing circuit of artworks between six hospitals in the NSW Central West in partnership with Western NSW Local Health District.

See framed images from animations in Arts OutWest’s exhibition While the World Waits by Timothy Seager, Gus Armstrong, Parkes' Stephan de Witt, and Henry Simmons with the River Yarners.

These images were recently show at NSW Parliament House and the original videos were part of Arts OutWest's two-year touring exhibition While the World Waits.

In November works from Forbes Arts Society will have work on exhibition at Forbes Hospital. These new paintings will be displayed throughout the maternity unit.

The previous exhibition of work at Forbes Hospital was some of the photography by our Media Associates from the ‘Behind the Lens’ exhibition in the maternity ward, that previously showed at St Andrews Hall in Forbes as part of Arts OutWest's 50th anniversary celebrations.

Arts OutWest has been working with Forbes Hospital since 2014, initially through the redevelopment program of Parkes and Forbes hospitals.
