TORBAY HOSPITAL 2022
To the north of Torquay lies Torbay Hospital, where three inpatient mental health wards provide care for adults from the surrounding communities of Torbay and South Devon who are living with acute mental health needs.

THE WORKSHOP AT NORTHSIDE HOUSE 2022
This is our second project at Northside and we collaborated with Norwich University of the Arts (NUA) on our research and evaluation of the project.
PSYCHIATRIC INTENSIVE CARE UNITS FOR MEN 2021
Hospital Rooms worked across three London PICUs: Askew Ward (West London NHS Trust), Titian Ward (NELFT) and Bevan Ward (ELFT). The start of the project coincided with the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and the series of lockdowns that follows. Managing to maintain momentum with the wards and eighteen artists working on the projects has been an extraordinary achievement.

Across 2019 and 2020, Hospital Rooms worked with Camden and Islington NHS Foundation Trust to create six artworks for Rosewood, an inpatient unit for women located in St. Pancras Hospital. Contemporary artists Anna Barriball, Sara Berman, Donal Moloney, Sikelela Owen, Tim A Shaw and Unskilled Worker worked with patients and staff to coproduce thoughtful and engaging spaces across the unit.
BLUEBIRD HOUSE 2019
This project has taken place in Southampton at Bluebird House, a secure child and adolescent mental health hospital for 12 – 18 year olds, for which new artworks have been created by Richard Woods, Charley Peters, Yukako Shibata, Simon Bayliss, Ryan Mosley and Tim A Shaw.
HELLINGLY CENTRE 2019
This project has been transformative for our patients, and over the six months Hospital Rooms have been on-site at Hellingy we have watched, not just our building, but also our patients come to life. It has been an exercise in the healing power that creativity and meaningful engagement can have on fractured human souls. We have men and women who have rarely engaged attend workshops with people they do not know, and learn new skills. This may seem small, but in the closed world of the psychiatric ward it is huge. Monumental. – Laury Jeanneret
