Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Hospital Stage 2 Redevelopment

Acute Services Building and Emergency Department

Jess Birk and Jade Oakley collaborated on the stairwell/façade artwork for the new ASB

KB Art Projects was engaged as the arts and culture consultant for the Acute Services Building at Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Hospital.

Working closely with the architectural and interior design teams, we developed an art program designed to complement the building’s architecture while creating a welcoming and uplifting environment for staff, patients and visitors.

Ten artists were commissioned to develop artworks responding to the local environment and community.

To further engage the community, a photography competition was organised for hospital staff and local residents. Selected finalist images are now displayed throughout the building.

Local disability arts organisation Studio A also contributed a series of artworks depicting native birds, animals and plants, bringing a sense of warmth and connection to nature within the emergency department.
