Creative Commissions for Bathurst Hospital redevelopment

Arts OutWest, in partnership with Health Infrastructure, is seeking expressions of interest (EOI) from visual artists to create artworks for the Bathurst Hospital Redevelopment.

As part of the redevelopment, the Hospital is seeking artworks for a range of clinical and non-clinical areas. The Arts Strategy aims to:

1. Contribute to enabling a therapeutic environment for patients, workforce and community;

2. Support improved health care outcomes for the community

3. Support a focus on Aboriginal health and wellbeing

Creatives with a relationship to the Bathurst region are invited to register their Expression of Interest to deliver up to 10 artworks to contribute to a new art collection for the Bathurst Hospital places of wait and rest, in both clinical and non-clinical areas.

There are 3 stages for artists to be selected for the Creative Commissions:

• Stage 1: Artists/creative teams submit EOI by 11.59pm Friday 23 October 2026.

• Stage 2: Shortlisted artists will be notified by late 2026. Shortlisted artists will be paid to develop a small artwork design based on a site-specific brief. Concept designs due Sunday 28 February 2027.

• Stage 3: The successful artist/s will be notified by Monday 15 March 2027. Selected Artists/creative teams will be contracted to Health Infrastructure and paid to develop final artworks for the hospital.
