Arts in Health
Tim Ward of Circling
the Square developed a strategy for the inclusion of public art within four
new build NHS Health & Social Care Centres for Salford. These LIFT (Local
Improvement Finance Trust) projects are to be located in Eccles, Pendleton,
Swinton and Walkden. All the new centres will house GP surgeries, City Council 'One Stop Shops', libraries, health services and community space.
Tim Ward was the arts project manager for this major arts strategy at Broomfield Hospital in Chelmsford, Essex. The aim of the strategy is to contribute to the overall mission of this NHS Trust to "become a premier provider of excellent and progressive healthcare" by integrating high quality art into the internal and external design of the buildings and grounds of the new hospital site and into existing hospital spaces. Enhancing the environment of the whole hospital for the benefit of everyone who uses it (patients, visitors and staff), and creating a strong sense of identity and ownership. Artists commissioned on the Broomfield Hospital Project were: Graham Jones Wolfgang Buttress Sasha Ward Joseph Hillier Simon Ryder Tom Pearman Walter Jack |
