Art at the Heart of the RUH was established in 2000 and presents a high quality programme of arts for the benefit of patient, staff and visitors. We have achieved an excellent reputation through a programme of innovative and ambitious projects which saw us short listed for a Building Better Healthcare Award resulting in a Highly Commeded award, which we are proud to display in our central corridor.

The programme covers the visual arts, music, film and literature through exhibitions, performances, readings, and participatory workshops for patients and staff.

Art at the heart uses the corridors, public and clinical internal areas as well as courtyards of the RUH provide the City of Bath with one of it’s biggest and busiest gallery and performance spaces. The programme includes professional and amateur artists and musicians, patients, RUH staff, local art, photography and print groups, students and schools.

Through exhibitions, participatory commissions, music and involvement in capital developments the arts are intergrated into the life of the hospital, supporting the delivery of quality care, soothing and lifting everyone who uses the hospital and enlivening the building and grounds.

“Frankie’s choice of repertoire was perfect for patients on the Older People’s Units. Her Ukulele playing made everyone smile, especially when she sang ‘When I’m Cleaning Windows’ which most of the patients (and staff) sang along with!” Hospital Notes Programme
