Welcome We have a number of exciting exhibitions and events this season, ending 2012 and starting 2013 in style with the Royal United Hospital’s 80th Birthday To highlight one or two of our events in our programme we would like to tell you about the greatly anticipated 3rd Bath Galleries Group Art Affair which features include a sculpture trail across the City.

As the official charity partner for Bath Galleries Group we will be raising funds for our children’s ward project; Artsparks by hosting a high quality art raffle. Tickets to be sold via the hospital and participating Bath galleries from the 6th – 12th November. Please see further details of other exciting events in this guide.

BANA Bath Area Network for Artists
Malcolm Ashman, R. Scott Fraser & Ben Hughes
The works in this exhibition explore places, spaces and processes in landscape and the natural world. The artists involved in the show are a selection of painters and printmakers from the Bath Area Network for Artists (BANA).
Faces {Bath} by portrait painters Malcolm Ashman, R. Scott Fraser and Ben Hughes. The project sets out to celebrate the slightly lesser well known face of Bath and places the focus on the people of Bath rather than the Georgian buildings admired the world over.
This vibrant and varied show not only celebrates the beauty, atmosphere and colour of the natural world but also showcases a diversity of response by the participating artists to forms, features and elements experienced on land and sea, and observed on large and small scales.
The strong pyramid sculpture pulses at the heart of the hospital, playfully exploring the roots of the well-known phrase ‘cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey’. The piece encapsulates both schoolboy humour and fascinating nautical ideas designed to uplift spirits and put a smile on your face.
The exhibition which has been programmed as a series of pop-up exhibitions arrives at the Royal United Hospital on 5th October and fills the corridors spaces with faces of its people as well as inviting new audiences into the cultural life of the city.

Young Emerging Artist Will Beck Digital Manipulation Photography
Animate Me! Is a animation project that gives patients on the adolescent unit the opportunity to use their imagination and animation to create an alternative world in which can help them understand their hospital environment and reaffirm their identity.
Working almost exclusively on landscape, urban and rural, Will Beck mirrors and distorts original photographs to give an almost surreal effect. Contemporary film like Scorses’s Shutter Island, inspire William with their visual tricks and graphic imagery.
