Four artists have been selected to design artworks for the expansion of Canberra Hospital after an art consultancy firm was paid nearly $300,000 to identify suitable artists for the project.

The artists will design works for the main public corridor, internal walls in patient bays, waiting areas and staff stations, the paediatric spaces in the emergency department and in an outdoor courtyard.
