About the Arts Programme at NUH

Artists Julia Vogl and Peter Hudson,  Megan Dawes, Amanda Roberts | Nottingham Hospitals Charity

Our Arts Programme provides various cultural experiences for staff, patients and visitors to experience during their stay at Nottingham hospitals. From inspiring performances from local musicians, new colourful artwork throughout the corridors and wards to engaging workshops to support wellbeing and recovery.

This vital programme relies entirely on the generosity of donations, and we need your help to continue to provide arts at NUH.

 

What your donations support: 

Every donation to the Arts Programme directly supports:

Live performances and participatory arts

We welcome a range of artists from across Nottingham and beyond to bring many different art forms, including music and crafts to areas across the hospitals.

Beyond the walls

We aim to bridge the connection between the hospital and the local and wider arts community including fostering research opportunities and working on national projects including the Our NHS Stories.

Arts Trail Launch | Nottingham Hospitals Charity

Arts Trail

In collaboration with the Arts Council England National Lottery, we were able to introduce five new Arts Trails around City Hospital and QMC. Each trail showcases various different pieces of art and are located on easy to follow routes.

Support the arts today!

With your help we can continue to bring arts projects like these to Nottingham hospitals. Your donation isn’t just a gift, it’s an investment in creativity throughout the hospital and will have a lasting impact on patient care and support. 

  • £10 could provide specialist art packs for patients on the ward to help improve their mental wellbeing.
  • £50 could provide the essential materials for artists to create new murals and artwork in a family room or playroom
  • £100 could provide new activities which will allow staff to unwind after a long day of providing patient care

Your support will continue to ensure the Art Programme thrives.
