Despite evidence to show the arts ‘can help patients maintain a sense of personal dignity and control in what are often distressing circumstances’, (The Power of Art 2000) and a real appetite from patients to participate in artistic activity, with one patient saying ‘I would have given anything to paint’, access to art and creativity in mental health hospitals is extremely limited.
By supporting Hospital Rooms, you are helping us to bring the highest quality artwork and creativity activity into these spaces, to drive their importance into public consciousness and to catalyse a fundamental shift in the way we consider and treat people with the most difficult of mental health diagnoses.
