SUPPORTING MENTAL HEALTH
The hospital rooms bring the highest-quality artwork and creative activity into mental health spaces, working with acclaimed artists to catalyse a fundamental shift in the way we consider and treat people with the most difficult of mental health diagnoses.
The hospital rooms
Artist Tim A Shaw and curator Niamh White founded Hospital Rooms after a close friend was admitted to a mental health hospital. On visiting her, they were shocked to find the hospital environment was cold and clinical at a time when she was so vulnerable. Having worked in the arts for 10 years each, they felt they had the skills and community to be able to transform these spaces with high-quality artworks.
In 2016, Dr Emma Whicher gave them the opportunity to run their first project at the Phoenix Unit, a rehabilitation unit for people with a diagnosis of schizophrenia. They commissioned Nick Knight, Gavin Turk, and Assemble, among other world-class artists, to work with patients and staff to create site-specific artwork for the ward. The project received national press attention and Hospital Rooms has been inundated with requests for projects ever since.
We look forward to supportin the Hospital Rooms in their endeavours and proceed of all sales go directly to this important cuase.
Art will transform us
This film follows Artist and Hospital Rooms Co-founder Tim A Shaw working with patients to create a large-scale mural for the Hellingly Centre – a forensic hospital in Sussex. The mural is inspired by the narratives of the people who use the space and draws on the heritage of the local area of Hastings. It is intended to remind patients of the power they find within them and the rich histories that they can be a part of and take a hand in creating.
“ Support the hospital rooms work with a one-off donation when you purchase and we will match that donation. Every contribution helps to drive meaningful change in the lives of mental healthcare service users and their communities—no matter how big or small. By becoming a Hospital Rooms donor, you join a wider community of individuals and organisations who share a common vision for mental healthcare spaces that offer hope, dignity, and recovery for all ”
