Paintings in Hospitals is a charity dedicated to improving people's health and wellbeing through the power of art.
In challenging times such as illness, isolation, grief and hardship, we provide solace, comfort and hope. We work in partnership with patients and carers to transform and humanise clinical environments using quality art from our own collection. We give hands-on support and collaboration – delivering practical workshops and sessions with patients, carers, staff and other vulnerable people.
We work with libraries and in other community settings to embed social value including expanding into more diverse communities. Through our work, we aim to inspire resilience, foster creativity, and encourage a sense of belonging.
The health benefits of art and creative activities are backed by a wealth of scientific evidence, and every day we see the positive impact art can have for patients, healthcare professionals, carers and communities.
It’s our mission to create healing environments where art can foster improved mental and emotional health and take a leading role in shaping policy to embed the value of creative health into healthcare systems and wider society.
