About us
Who we are
At Paintings in Hospitals, we use art and creative activities to inspire better health and wellbeing for patients, their families, staff and communities, in health and care settings across the UK. By working closely together, we create and curate care spaces that encourage and enrich the lives of everyone.
Paintings in Hospitals is now the UK's leading national visual arts-in-health charity, with 60 years of experience. Our mission is to transform the UK's health by using great art to inspire hope and boost wellbeing.
Recent studies show that art can help us stay well, aid our recovery, and support us to live longer, healthier lives. This is why we are dedicated to bringing art to everyone through our artwork loans and art activities in every type of healthcare and social care setting.
