Introduction and Welcome

During 2011-12 Art at the Heart has continued and strengthened its commitment to supporting the core values of the RUH, with an innovative arts programme designed to enhance the hospital environment and experience, offering measurable benefit to patients, staff and visitors.

Art at the Heart has achieved an excellent reputation through a programme of innovative and ambitious projects. We were fortunate to have the opportunity to show Cold Places by Sue Flood, following its premiere at the Getty Gallery in London. Exhibitions such as Cold Places saw us short listed for a Building Better Healthcare Award and then go on to win a Highly Commended award at the ceremony in London. We are proud to display this trophy in our central corridors.

We are members of the Bath Galleries Group for the Bath Art Affair every November and the Art Auction last July raised £6,000 as match funding to the Arts Council’s Grant for the Arts for Art Sparks on the Children’s Ward and RUH School Room. We have steadily developed participatory art and music projects for patients on the Older People’s Unit and the Children’s Ward and last year we worked with Capital Projects and the Forever Friends Appeal on art and design elements of the new Dyson Centre for Neo Natal Care.

This year saw our first Staff and Volunteer exhibition which was a resounding success and we have also worked on projects with departments across the RUH including Qulturum and The Dementia Strategy Group. We have offered student placements and internships to colleges and universities in our area for music, marketing and visual arts and provided creative opportunities to the whole community through partnerships, participation and collaboration. A snapshot of these projects are highlighted in this report, but we cannot cover it all so we would like to thank everyone who has contributed and supported Art at the Heart over the past year.

Exhibition Programme

As one of Bath’s most accessible gallery spaces, open 12 hours a day, 7 days a week Art at the Heart continues to unite corridors, public and clinical areas with a on-going high quality arts programme.

With a mixture of permanent and temporary exhibitions across the hospital, the Art at the Heart team work hard to ensure that the hospital gallery spaces such as the central corridor are refreshed on a 10 week basis, ensuring that there really is something for everyone. We exhibit a diverse range of work from oil paintings to digital media arts and welcome artist proposals from staff, visitors and the public.

Although exhibitions are not programmed with the primary intent to make a revenue for our fund, we are pleased to say that we do make steady sales throughout the year and are thankful for the support we receive from staff and visitors.

RUH Staff & Volunteer Exhibition

The fi rst ever RUH Staff and Volunteer Exhibition took place from 9th February – 25th April 2012, giving Staff and Volunteers a chance to not only share their creativity by show casing work, but to help transform corridors in the RUH, providing a more colourful, positive environment.

All staff members and volunteers, of any age or experience, were invited to submit up to three pieces of original two-dimensional artwork. Photography, paintings, prints and drawings lined the central corridors, and Chairman of Bath and North East Somerset Councillor Peter Edwards presented a Chairman’s Prize for best Art Work. There was even a People’s Choice Prize, in which patients, staff and visitors voted for their favourite piece of work.

The exhibition revealed hidden artistic talents from the RUH Staff, with a great level of interest from staff and volunteers. The viewing public were also intrigued by the range of art work on display.

Well over half the passers-by looked at the pictures, and a much higher percentage than normal stopped to read names and comments.

Art SparksChildren & Young People: The Art Sparks Gallery

Art Sparks is Art at the Heart’s Children’s Ward project, co-funded by Arts Council England and also supported by the Bath Galleries Group Art Auction 2011, which brings a series of regular creative workshops to the RUH Children’s Ward. Art Sparks sees children and their families creating imaginative artworks in response to different themes throughout the year.

Some of the Art Sparks workshops this year took their inspiration from the exhibitions along the main corridors, others relate to seasonal and current events such as the Olympic Games this summer. Resident Artist Edwina Bridgeman and supporting artists Charlotte Stowell and Clare Day hold workshops in the playroom and play specialists continue to work with the children throughout each week. Children benefit from these workshops as they learn new skills and use art materials that they would not normally have access to. There have been around 200 patients involved so far and parents and carers have also taken part in the workshops.

Edwina brings a large bag of materials to each session which she sets up in the playroom and also on trays so that they can be carried to the children in bed. Edwina says “We’ve had a lot of positive feedback and there is a good feeling amongst patients and families about the workshops. They make a real difference and are a welcome asset to the ward.”

Emerging Young Talent: Joshua James

The Art Sparks Gallery has a new wall space that is dedicated to show casing young emerging talent. A collection of photography prints by fourteen year old Joshua James is currently on display. Joshua spent time at the Royal United Hospital, Bath just beforeChristmas last year recovering from a collapsed lung. While at the hospital he took a keen interest in the works of art on display in the corridors and is very excited and proud to be asked to take part in the hospitals new Art Sparks programme. The photographs have all been taken by Joshua on his digital SLR camera, a much cherished birthday gift.

Joshua James lives at home with his parents in Trowbridge. A student at Clarendon College, Joshua started takingphotographs over three years ago, an interest he has obviously inherited from his grandfather who has been taking photographs for the past 50 years. Diagnosed with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), Joshua finds his photography helps him to concentrate and focus on the detail in his everyday life, from his friends at the local skate park to the cars and motorbikes he loves.

Andy Moore LRPS, Distinctions Manager of The Royal Photographic Society said “We are really impressed with some of Joshua’s images. We have sent his images to our Distinctions panel, so we can offer advice and guidance and hopefully help Joshua to prepare his application for his Distinction. I wish him the best of luck. “

Summer Children’s Project Meadows

Art Sparks are supporting The Wildlife Trusts summer programme ‘A Living Landscape’ seeking out and recording flora and fauna for their summer exhibition to help raise awareness that the nations meadows are declining rapidly and if nothing is done will likely become extinct.

When it comes to the quintessential ‘English country garden’, nothing compares to the tranquillity of a wildflower meadow. Claire Cohen, The Daily Telegraph, April 2012

Britain’s beautiful spreads of wildflower meadows have decreased by more than 90 per cent, says Claire Cohen.

Soundbite

The Soundbite Performance Programme has gone from strength to strength this year. Through its two strands - Lunchtime Recitals which take place in the communal areas of the hospital and on the wards, and Hospital Notes which provides music workshops for patients on the Older People’s Units - it continued to bring a varied programme of music and performance to patients, staff and visitors at the RUH.

Over the year we have been working with musicians from Live Music Now and Bath Spa University, as well as local musicians and staff from the RUH, including the RUH Choir. Volunteers from the RUH’s League of Friends and students from Bath Spa University have assisted our Musician in Residence, Rosanna Campbell, to plan and oversee the programme.

Volunteers from Art at the Heart, and students from Bath Spa University and Ashley Down College assisted Rosanna with the sessions. The project involved 20 workshops and reached around 120 patients as well as visitors and members of staff. Each workshop lasted one hour and involved group sessions and one-to-one interactions. The sessions were held in the communal areas of the wards and involved gentle movement to music, reminiscence involving singing and discussions, and the opportunity to listen to live music either performed by Rosanna or a music student. The workshops were clearly enjoyed by patients, visitors and staff.

Feedback forms handed out during Lunchtime Performances showed that the majority of people listening were visitors, and that most people found the performances to be enjoyable and uplifting. The main challenge we had were complaints about noise levels for wards adjoining the Atrium. Taking this on board, larger groups of musicians now play in other communal areas of the hospital, with performances from only solo musicians or duets performing in the Atrium.

The evaluation for Hospital Notes mainly took the form of anecdotal evidence, including observations, discussions with patients and staff as well as key findings from existing research. From this evaluation we discovered that interaction through music can reduce critical incidents such as falls, aggression, and the number of patients wandering, as well as improving the well-being of older patients especially those with dementia. Practical feedback has led to a regular programme alternating between music workshops and performances, meaning that all patients can enjoy some form of musical interaction. On one ward a workshop space has been set up in the middle of a bay so that patients can sit at the table, or if they are less-abled they can join in from their beds. The project continues to be a success, and we are now running the programme on four Older People’s Units – Combe, Midford, Pulteney and Victoria.

Overall Art at the Heart has worked more closely with ward and general staff to ensure high quality delivery and improvements in the two strands where needed. Since the pilot the 2011 - 2012programme has been generously funded by the Joyce Fletcher Charitable Trust for the performances from Live Music Now and the Hospital Notes 2012 programme has been funded by Superact.

“The patients that attended really enjoyed the music workshops and that was nice to see. It breaks up the day for them and gives them some-thing do. Thank you for coming to Midford and brightening up the day for the patients and staff with your music.”Teresa Bolton. Ward Manager. Midford Ward

Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)The Dyson Centre for Neo Natal Care

Summer 2011 saw the completion and opening of The Royal United Hospital’s new NICU unit. The Dyson Centre’s environmentally sustainable design is the first of its type in Europe and possibly further afield. It is a beautiful and therapeutic environment which, through the reduction of stress levels and creation of a peaceful environment, is of tangible benefit to parents, staff and babies.

Capital Projects, The Forever Friends Appeal and Bath based architects, Fielden Clegg Bradley worked with Art at the Heart of the RUH to integrate art and design into the fabric of the new centre. Arts Programme Manager Hetty Dupays, carried out consultations with parents, NICU staff and stakeholders to develop many aspects of the interior of the unit, including integrated artworks, colour scheme, signage and furnishings.

The NICU colour palette was developed with Fielden Clegg Bradley’s colour consultant, Libby Lloyd, who has produced a sequence of beautiful colours around the unit, which also helps with way finding.

Triptych Painting by Deidre Dyson [01]Main Reception Fielden Clegg Bradley Studio’s [02 - 04]Frosted glass window [05-06]NICU Centre from outside [07]

Art at the Heart worked with artist Christopher Tipping to design an etched panel for the window between the garden and main Princess Anne Corridor. Christopher and Hetty worked in consultation with the Forever Friends Appeal team, the donor family, parents and clinical staff to come up with a concept suitable for the space. The resulting work is a triptych of double glazed units which reference parenthood, the fragility of life, renewal and the cycle of life through seasonal shift and change. The work shows a different design depending on which side you view it from and the triptych form is a reference to the three children of the late Yvonne Cole.

The project is part-funded by the Dyson Foundation and 50% of the capital came from the RUH’s Capital Projects. The artworks used throughout the refurbishment were either donated or part of a larger donation.

“The development of the new NICU has been undertaken with the aim to providing a holistic approach to the care of babies and their parents, but there is much more to this than high-tech medicine. We wanted to undertake research to investigate how the new facilities impact on the babies, their parents and staff”

“We believe the research study will show that the RUH has the best environment in the world for newborn babies who need that extra bit of care to get them started in life” Quotes taken from RUH Insight Magazine article; ‘It’s all in the research: Will the new Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Improve outcomes for the newborn babies?

Qulturum

A pioneering new part of the hospital, known as the “Qulturum”, is an area for staff based on a concept which originated in Jonkoping, Sweden. The Qulturum is essentially a quality improvement hub where staff specialise in areas such as patient safety, clinical effectiveness and patient experience.

Art at the Heart team has worked closely with Qulturum on their recent transistion, moving between departments and forming the redeveloped Wolfson Centre. As part of the merge, textile student Faith Wray was given the opportunity to create three textile panels that symbolise the work which is carried out throughout the Wolfson Centre departments, uniting individual fields of work through design.

I am a second year textile design student studying at Birmingham City University.

I was given the opportunity to undertake a four week work placement and after becoming increasingly interested in the Arts in conjunc-tion with the caring environment; I was delighted to be given such an exciting experience to work with Art at the Heart.

I have been working with several branches of the hospital; Qulturum, Bio Medical Engeering [BIME] and Research based in the Wolfson Centre. With the input of the staff, I have been working on creating mixed media reflective embroideries for the entrance of each department. The enthusiasm and encouragement for my project from the staff has been extremely positive and has allowed me to get a real insight into the working environment at a Hospital and to produce meaningful textiles to brighten up what was a very blank canvas!

Faith Wray Textile Designer Student [BCU]

“Work together to drive forward, fostering a culture of improvement throughout the organisation.”

Art at the Heart have been a great support and influence in developing the aesthetics of the Qulturum. The artwork chosen for the space has been selected to reflect the quality improvement journey that we are on together with our sense of teamwork - this is displayed using a fantastic array of elephant family photographs! The colour scheme and art has helped staff to feel at ease in their new office environment. Qulturum staff have said ‘It’s the most special working environment I have worked in; art on the walls makes you feel proud to work here’

Looking Forward 2012 - 2013

There is no doubt that it will be a busy year for Art at the Heart of the RUH. With the Olympics around the corner, as an arts organisation the cultural Olympiad has provided many opportunities; we have the Bed Olympics taking place on the Children’s Ward, funded by the League of Friends through the BANES Olympic Micro grant. Paintings by young people from across the City will also be displayed as part of the Olympic Arts Project, organised by Loraine Morgan Brinkhurst and featuring guest Olympic artists in residence, Kevin Whitby. We are also showing a series of sculptures as part of Sculpture and Sport: A Celebration for 2012.

As members of the Bath Galleries Group in November, we will be taking part in the 3rd annual Bath Art Affair and have an exciting line up of exhibitions. We will also be planning an arts project in line with the RUH 80 celebrations from December, when the RUH turns 80 years old.

As the RUH moves towards Foundation status we are working to become a recognised asset to the core of the RUH Foundation Trust Strategy by continuing to improve patient experence and the hospital environment. We look forward to developing internal and external partnerships, with mutual benefits to both the RUH and the wider community.

It is our ambition, as Art at the Heart continues to build a strong reputation, that we will seek to have a presence at local and national arts and health forums, and continue to network positively and share best practice with hospitals who have a similar structure to ours.

A reminiscence exhibition of framed photographs around the OPU wards. Kindly lent to Art at the Heart by Beverely Griffiths, who has exhibited her own photographs at the RUH in the past

My Father, who lived in Bath for a long time and took some of these pictures, has recently gone into a care home on the Devon/Cornwall border, suffering from Alzheimer’s. I made him a montage of some of his pictures for Christmas.

He can’t remember all the people, or all the places, but he tells everyone about it every time he sees them. I hope the patients on the OPU like these pictures as much as he does his.” Beverly Griffiths

The Art at the Heart of the RUH Team

“Art has always been a huge part of my life. I have a creative streak and believe the ‘Art at the Heart’ programme is exciting as it gives others in hospital the opportunity to express themselves through the Arts in the hospital, whether it be drawing, music, performance or writing. As part of my student internship I am currently working as Marketing Assistant for Art at the Heart and studying part time at Bath Spa University for an MA in Design: Fashion and Textiles.

I have been working with the Arts Team at the RUH since November 2011 and I have really enjoyed being involved in Marketing the exhibitions and events for Art at the Heart. I have applied both my writing and design skills to create posters, leaflets, press releases, logos and labels for exhibitions. The Staff and Volunteer exhibition on display earlier this year was a great success, we had lots of positive feedback from Staff that took part as well as the viewing public. It was a fantastic experience to advertise and organise the exhibition, and also to show some of my own Textile Art work at the Hospital.” Jessica Shoemack [Student Internship: Marketing Assistant]

Volunteers

Alongside the core team, developments in the programme from 2011 - 2012 could not have been possible without the generous services of key volunteers and students.
