Exhibitions The RUH has one of the largest and most accessible exhibition spaces in the Bath area. It includes a wide variety of temporary and permanent artworks, from corridors to courtyards, in order to enhance the environment and improve the experience for patients, staff and visitors.
4
• We currently manage over 500 artworks around the RUH Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust. • This includes 4 main temporary exhibitions in the Central Corridor and 12 temporary exhibitions in other parts of the hospital per year. • We also install 2 exhibitions per year at the Circle Bath Hospital. • Our collection of artwork is increasing each year with permanent commissions, artworks on wards etc. We evaluate our exhibition programme and gather feedback from patients, staff and visitors. Below are a sample of comments from our ‘What do you think?’ cards. “Seeing artwork along the corridors changes the experience of a hospital visit for patients. Absolutely wonderful.” “Love it! It’s uplifting and a welcome distraction, I have seen lovely pieces I would like to buy. Thank you!!!” “High standard. Massive interest. More than technique – thought stirring.” “Top notch.” “At times of stress these photos lift the spirit.” In addition to the public areas, we sell and arrange artwork for display in wards and departments. We also provide an exhibition service for other health and community organisations. A third commission from all sales goes to the RUH Arts Fund, helping to continue the work we do for the Trust.

Soundbite Art at the Heart’s Soundbite music programme was first established in 2010 and since then has been going from strength to strength. Visiting Musician Frankie Simpkins works 2 days a week, singing and performing on the wards, as well as scheduling 22 lunchtime performances during the course of the year, followed by afternoon ward visits featuring Live Music Now and Bath Folk Club musicians. Bath Folk Club brings all flavours of traditional music, dance and culture to Bath. Furthermore, Live Music Now (LMN) trains musicians specially to work in a healthcare setting, bringing high quality live music to our patients, visitors and staff in public spaces and on hospital wards. We have also had two student placements from Bath Spa University this year participating and seeing first-hand the positive effects live music can have in a healthcare environment. One student was writing her dissertation on the effects of music and dementia and so observed Frankie’s sessions, and the other gained experience building a suitable repertoire for performing on the wards accompanied and supported by Frankie. All our musicians perform to the highest of standards and each performer is given a ‘Guidance for Visiting Musicians’ booklet which includes useful information on suggested repertoire, what to expect in a ward environment and dementia awareness. Our visiting musician Frankie Simpkins sings well known oldies accompanied by her ukulele and occasionally flute on the Older Patient Units (OPU). Songs are chosen to complement and enhance the atmosphere on the wards. If things are very busy or tense then she might sing slower, quieter songs to promote a calmer atmosphere. Likewise, if the ward seems in low spirits she will sing uplifting songs to lift the mood. Frankie takes requests and is always willing to learn a patient’s favourite song if she doesn’t already know it.

The music Frankie sings often promotes reminiscence and discussion so a lot of time can be spent talking to patients about their experiences and memories that were evoked through her singing. Frankie has also begun studying for a Master’s degree in Music Therapy and is looking forward to applying her learning to her work here at the RUH.

A snippet from a musician’s day on the wards By Frankie Simpkins
“I had a lovely morning on Combe Ward. On one of the bays all the patients were listening, one lady moved to sit on a bed closer to me and was singing along and the visitor of one of the patients was holding her hand and dancing a little. It was really lovely. Everyone was smiley and happy when I left.”
Referrals Frankie often has patients referred to her from around the hospital, usually by Dementia coordinators or someone from the palliative care team. This is an important aspect of our work, as due to time restraints Frankie can only visit so many wards each week and is based on the 5 OPU wards. However, the need for a musical visit can occur on other wards as well -- older patients and those with dementia are in other wards all over the hospital, not just the OPUs. In an ideal world we would have additional time to reach more wards regularly, but for now the referral programme means that certain individuals who stand out to staff can have a visit wherever they are in the hospital.
Palliative Care Pilot Project A highlight of 2018 has been the Palliative Care Pilot Project with Live Music Now Musician Josh Doughty. There is plenty of research to suggest that music can improve the wellbeing of patients nearing the end of their life.

“In the palliative care environment, researchers have found that music therapy reduces anxiety, pain, tiredness and drowsiness and increases wellbeing. Patient directed art therapy in palliative care settings enables the expression of powerful, difficult emotions about dying, helping to relieve the psychological trauma of living with a terminal illness.” All-Party Parliamentary Group on Arts, Health and Wellbeing
“Truly enchanting music, a pleasure to listen to. Patients do enjoy it and show curiosity regarding the music and the instrument. You can clearly see the benefit and positive effect these visits have on them.”
Staff Nurse, Cheselden Ward

Frankie has spent some time working with individual patients referred by the palliative care team, however when Live Music Now said they were successful in obtaining additional funding for music performances at the RUH, it was decided to run the 3 week Palliative Care Pilot Project. The residency took the form of Josh being at the hospital for 3 consecutive Fridays visiting patients referred by the Palliative Care Team. Josh’s residency created warm moments of togetherness with staff and their patients and relatives enjoying a mutual experience. This gave patients a peaceful and tranquil space to do what they felt was right for them, whether it was to sit up and watch Josh play, close their eyes and listen or even go to sleep. His music drowned out the beeps of machines, the sound of the hustle and bustle of the busy wards, and created a moment of peace, enhancing the wellbeing for all who heard him. “Artistic activity generates a legacy that can be left behind for our loved ones.” All-Party Parliamentary Group on Arts, Health and Wellbeing
Lunchtime Performance Programme The Lunchtime Performance Programme brings a diverse range of live music to communal areas of the hospital and wards. We work with young musicians from Live Music Now (LMN) and musicians from the Bath Folk Club (generously funded by the Joyce Fletcher Charitable Trust).

According to the All-Party Parliamentary Group Report on Creative Health: The Arts for Health and Wellbeing – “Arts engagement can help with the selfmanagement of chronic and long-term conditions. For example, there is evidence that art therapies diminish the physical and psychological suffering of cancer and the side effects of its treatment. Studies have found that listening to music has beneficial effects on people with cardiovascular disease. Singing has been shown to alleviate chronic respiratory conditions and cystic fibrosis.”

Bath Folk Festival The annual Bath Folk Festival took place in mid-August 2018 with a music performance scheduled every afternoon in the public areas and OPU wards for one week Monday – Friday. We had 4 new music acts perform as well as the return of popular duo ‘Deuair’ featuring Elsa Davies and Ceri Owen-Jones: fiddle, harp and two voices. Musicians performed 1-1.30pm to patients, staff and visitors in a public space such as the RUH Atrium, Friends Coffee Shop or Lansdown Foyer, and then on two wards in the afternoon for patients and their families from 1.45 – 3.30pm. New wards and waiting areas were reached and fliers distributed to wards where there were some patients who were more mobile and able to come along and see a public performance.

Stitch in Time Stitch in Time workshops on Combe ward incorporate a range of images and creative textile processes, taking elements from one-to-one and group conversations on the wards as well as sharing of memories. By encouraging and supporting social skills and interaction between patients, we hope to increase patients’ self-esteem and confidence by introducing them to a new skill that they can then share with their family, friends and loved ones. Waterhouse Ward is putting their Therapy Room aside for Stitch in Time workshops on Friday afternoons and also inviting patients who would like to take part from Midford Ward.

“Arts Engagement can boost brain function and improve the recall of personal memories; it can also enhance the quality of life of people with dementia and their carers.” All-Party Parliamentary Group on Arts, Health and Wellbeing Charlotte Stowell has been making models and fabric wreaths with patients using a selection of different materials, including fimo clay with moulds and textured sheets, rattan wreaths, card wreaths, coloured skeleton leaves, felt and silk flowers, plus various wools, yarns, fabric and lace. Patients enjoy the making aspect but also being part of a group, having conversations, admiring each other’s artwork and laughing. One patient commented he enjoyed having something else to do and trying something new. Medical Students from Bristol demonstrated enthusiasm and interest in the artwork the patients were doing. The artists, Charlotte Stowell and Edwina Bridgeman were surprised but pleased to learn that all students do a module on art and wellbeing. They understand the value of using art as an equalizer and that it is a route into conversation and reminiscence. One student commented that is was an excellent way of gaining insight into patients’ lives and health issues. Informal conversations are really helpful as patients are put at ease. Edwina Bridgeman has been taking autumnal objects to Stitch in Time workshops such as apples, leaves, Michaelmas daisies, crabapples and blackberries.

Taste and smell have been very important to these workshops. Many patients were able to recall their favourite flowers, vegetables and playground games of conkers. The students understood the value of an open invitation through objects and the many directions conversations can take. Together with the artist, the students and patients created a series of small books of their paintings and drawings of the fruit and flowers. The books have been left with patients as a keepsake.

Patient taking part in a Artsparks workshop on the Children’s Ward
Artsparks “Young people spending time in hospital experience a range of anxieties, partly as a result of separation from their families, an unfamiliar environment, investigations and treatments and a loss of self-determination.” All-Party Parliamentary Group on Arts, Health and Wellbeing Thanks to the support of St John’s Community Grant we are running a two year Artsparks project on the Children’s Ward. The workshops take place both in the playroom and by patient bedsides. The intention is to allow children to enjoy the freedom to produce their own artwork in a safe, supportive and non-judgemental setting. In 2018, we have had 3 visiting artists delivering workshops on the Children’s ward. Artist Mary Chamberlain worked on a number of projects on the Children’s ward with the theme ‘My Big Planet Earth’. Quality materials are key to the overall experience and Mary made a supply of small stretchers, stretching canvas and priming during the workshops, where young patients and their families saw the relatively simple process and the difference in quality between ‘off the shelf’ ready-made canvasses.
“Don’t stop these workshops; they are brilliant for the children.” Parent “It was great to see the children interact and enjoy themselves whilst learning a new skill. I felt it allowed them to openly talk to me, with no awkwardness! It was a good giggle! Thank you.” Norland Nanny 16
Edwina Bridgeman started art workshops on the ward in 2006; she uses a variety of materials from the scrap store as well as recycled materials in her workshops. She describes her Artsparks sessions as vey open, no right or wrong. She likes the children to have ownership of the work and to be able to experiment with the materials. Participants get involved in collaborative group work as well as individual artwork, spraying fabric, using wallpaper and pattern books, stickers and pens. Children are proud of their creations and become absorbed in the making. Edwina says she is always delighted at the friendships made in hospital. Mutual support between children and families is very evident.

Charlotte Stowell works primarily with fimo modelling clay, in assorted colours. The material is very tactile and using a variety of moulds and cutters, children can create three dimensional models as well as simple, flat designs. Shapes can be embellished with different patterns and details, making decorations and small plaques with lettering, mixing colours together to create marbled patterns.
These activities are a good way to bring parents together as a group; one parent said she felt better and more relaxed after joining in with the group activity. The parents can then introduce the activity at home and continue making artwork with their child/children. “Creative activity is a powerful tool in overcoming anxiety, depression and stress in young people.� All-Party Parliamentary Group on Arts, Health and Wellbeing In one workshop, there were young people (age 17, 15, 14) and children 5 and under around the table all using the same materials. The children were inspired by the young people and one patient, 17 spent ages with a 3 year old sharing his skills. Hedgehogs made by patients on the Children’s ward

The teenager has had a very difficult time and the artist was moved to see him enjoy ‘playing’ something which he has had little opportunity to do. The teenager spoke to the artist of his fear of moving to adult services. This gave the artist the idea that there could be a case for offering workshops around transition. In another session, one teenager was very creative and had some original ideas and thought processes. He said he enjoyed being in the group as it gave him a chance to have fun in a safe place. His life is often unsettled, so this was a good time for him. Medical Students from Bristol were at the RUH for work placements in October, supervised by Dr Chris Dyer, Consultant Geriatrician. The placements included an academic component as well as a practical component – ‘experiential learning’ in a clinical, simulated, academic or third sector setting. The students complete a module on arts, health and wellbeing as part of their 2nd year curriculum, and they had the opportunity to take part in the Artsparks workshops and see first-hand how creative activity benefits patients and their families. It also enabled them to find out about the wider arts programme at the RUH. The students joined in with the creative modelling activity with artist Charlotte Stowell and were confident working with children of all ages, making this an enjoyable session for everyone.

Student Feedback:
“Really lovely environment for the children; so welcoming but not so encouraging as to be forceful, which I think made those participating feel very at ease.”

“I feel the entertainment provided today through the use of Fimo clay really brought up the spirits of the patients who got involved. It was also a great talking point for families and was nice to see families together in an art task using materials that may not be around at home.” A patient painting in the playroom

Stained Glass Lightbox ‘Reaching Out’ by Sally Pollitzer
Art Commissions and Design Art at the Heart is part of Estates and Facilities Directorate and plays a vital role in a number of on-going capital projects as part of the RUH’s ‘Fit for the Future’ redevelopment programme.
Spiritual Care Centre: ‘A Place for Reflection and Prayer’ The Centre officially opened in April 2018 and it features a beautiful stained glass light box, ‘Reaching Out’ designed by designer-maker Sally Pollitzer. It is the main focal point of the space. Sally is a master glass maker and landscape is often reflected in her glass designs, however abstract they may appear. Sky, hills and sunlight are represented with colour. Friends of Victoria Art Gallery attended a private tour of our programme and this included a talk by the artist on her commission. There is a stunning cast bronze sculpture by artist, Chris Buck titled ‘In your Arms’ that sits in the Spiritual Care Garden. Chris is inspired by the St. Ives abstract artists, and is a Member of the Penwith Society of Arts founded by Barbara Hepworth and Ben Nicholson. The artworks in the Spiritual Care Centre have been funded with a legacy bequeathed to the hospital’s charity, The Forever Friends Appeal as well as a generous donation from the RUH Friends.

Radiology The family of the late Sir George Pollock Bt. Hon FRPS, FRSA, an accomplished photographer and a past President of the Royal Photographic Society kindly donated a series of his photographs to be displayed in the RUH Radiology Department. The artworks form part of the refurbishment and expansion programme. Staff were involved in the selection of the images used and felt strongly that images Sir George Pollock Photography in Radiology waiting area involving the use of light and photography were particularly relevant for a modern day imaging department. In 1962, Sir George Pollock invented a method of making abstract colour photographs using controlled light originally through glass, which he called “Vitrographs”. This light refraction technique is the focus of his body of work. The art and design scheme was developed with the project manager and through staff consultations. There is also a ‘sky’ ceiling lightbox incorporated into the ceiling above the new MRI scanner and ceiling tiles in the bed waiting areas displaying a tree canopy. RUH Consultant Cardiologist, Dr. Richard Mansfield also has photography on display enhanced by a wall light box.
The Royal National Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases (RNHRD) and Brownsword Therapies Centre The RNHRD, also known as The Min will be relocating to the new purpose built facility on the RUH site and merging with the RUH’s Therapy services, all due for completion in summer 2019. Art at the Heart has embarked on several major arts commissions as well as heritage projects reflecting the RUH’s historical expertise in this area of treatment. The Bath Medical Museum, (BMM) at The Min, plans to relocate some artefacts from the museum to a new suitable venue in the City. The new RNHRD & Therapies Centre will house a series of ‘cabinets of curiosity’ where the museum’s collection can be showcased. A conservator was appointed to do a condition report for the Min’s significant collection of historical portrait paintings, with recommendations for restoration. We are also seeking advice from local experts in this field regarding re-location.

The three main art and design commissions for the new Centre are: Wallpapers using the Mineral Water Hospital historic portrait paintings and artefacts as inspiration: Designed by Jose Mendoza
Wallpaper Draft Design by Jose Mendoza
Following patient consultation, two further projects – the geographical timeline and hydrotherapy pool windows are using ‘Flow’ as a key theme. Hydrotherapy Pool Glazed Walls: Designed by Christopher Tipping Chris has researched aspects of heritage and the ‘sense of place’ relating to both hospital sites to create a monumental glazed art design, using traditional treatments of sand blasting, etching and enamelling to the glazed walls of the hydrotherapy pool. Chris has sought inspiration from our rich local heritage on both sites as well as speaking to patients and staff. Thermal Waters Timeline: Designed by Ross Bennett The timeline will be located on the external façade of the building and made from Corian and hand blown blue glass. It will allude to the source of the thermal springs and its geographical and historical journey; falling first as rainfall on the Mendips with a journey deep underground estimated to take at least two thousand years to reach Bath. Internal View of Hydrotherapy Pool Windows, Chris Tipping Image (left) Model of Thermal Waters Timeline, Ross Bennett
We are also commissioning artwork for wall spaces in corridors, waiting areas and clinic rooms. The Interior Design scheme was led by interior Designer for IBI architects, Lynn Lindley, in close consultation with Art at the Heart. The strategy for the design focuses on an environment in which patients, staff and visitors feel welcome, comfortable and at ease. It was important to bring the two contrasting elements -- of heritage and new -- together to create a cohesive, well balanced environment, that, in conjunction with the arts commissioning, will encourage positivity and lift the spirits.

River is the Venue (RiV) is a unique, inclusive project that combines water science, art and information technologies. Funded by the Public Engagement Unit of the University of Bath and led by a team of researchers and art professionals, RiV has contributed a fresh and exciting perspective on the water heritage of the historic City of Bath. RiV has enabled local artists to communicate the flood history of the River Avon of the City of Bath through art installations, a sound piece, puppetry performance and participatory art workshops for communities in Bath. This range of evidence-based, flood-inspired artworks and workshops have succeeded in engaging local communities with the water history and in raising their awareness on flood risk and protection. The project’s outputs are an excellent example of a non-institutional and accessible artspace. The novel outlook on the flood history of the River Avon revitalises the essence of the river as an asset for the City of Bath and as a core element of its social history.
