Chairman’s Report This report and the associated accounts cover the last 18 months of GHAT’s existence as a simple Trust and the first six months following our transition to a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO). The two years covered by this report have been a very successful time for us with The Suttie Arts Space in Aberdeen Royal Infirmary now open and attracting interest, whilst we have made great advances in the maintenance and use of our existing collection. Artroom continues to involve and absorb patients in a rewarding way, with the pilot exercise at Royal Cornhill Hospital producing very positive outcomes. Funding remains a core issue and we have made significant strides in obtaining grants from public bodies with an interest in the arts, thus consolidating our reputation as a serious arts organisation. Positive discussions are also under way with NHS Grampian (NHSG) on how we develop GHAT to maximise its contribution to existing and future healthcare facilities across the region. GHAT is ready to meet the challenges ahead with optimism and I would like to pay tribute to our Director Sally Thomson and her team who have worked tirelessly to get us into this position.

Director’s Review This review is an opportunity to underline what we do and why. As you walk through the North East hospitals, have a look at the walls and you may notice our logo or name beside an artwork or within a leaflet and wonder – who are Grampian Hospitals Art Trust and what do they do? GHAT core values: creative, inclusive, challenging, ethical, sustainable. GHAT vision: the pursuit of excellence in arts and healthcare – regionally integrated and embedded, nationally recognised and respected. GHAT is an independent charitable arts organisation which is passionate about expanding quality art within hospitals in the North East. This work makes healthcare environments more welcoming and human. The whole community has the chance to see our work as it is on public display in over 100 hospital venues. GHAT fosters a culture in which the well-being of patients, staff and visitors is enhanced. Through the expertise of artists and designers we offer quality design solutions and creative experiences. What we do The Healing Environment. GHAT’s purpose is to enhance the physical visual aspect of the hospital experience and is recognised as an important element of the high-quality hospital environment across Grampian. We have over 4300 artworks in our collection which are curated across NHS Grampian facilities. In recent years GHAT and NHSG have developed a Healing Environment Strategy and an Interior Design Toolkit to assist NHSG project managers create well-designed and people-focused

environments within new builds and refurbishments. The results of this can be seen in the use of art and colour within North East Hospitals. Exhibition programme. GHAT runs programmes across three exhibition spaces, including The Suttie Arts Space, a newly opened, purpose-built, contemporary art gallery in Aberdeen Royal Infirmary (ARI). These spaces present changing exhibitions, events and artistic projects by local, national and international artists. Patients, visitors and staff tell us how important it is to have a space within a hospital where they can come and contemplate new art on a regular basis. Artroom. GHAT runs five Artroom projects in which professional artists work directly with patients and families within wards and clinics. These projects enhance well-being by providing a specifically designed, person-centred experience of art and creative writing for participants. Artroom is now delivered in four venues with eight artists and two writers delivering patient-centred creative sessions. As ever, GHAT relies heavily on the dedication of all our staff and volunteers and I would like to thank them for all of their support, often over and above the hours they are employed, which has enabled GHAT to thrive and develop over the last two years.

NHSG Design Projects During the last ten years GHAT has worked closely with NHSG on new capital build projects and the refurbishment of existing NHSG buildings across the North East of Scotland. GHAT works with artists from the local area and on a national basis, bringing them on-site to work with staff and with the NHSG project teams who are leading the construction work. In the past two years we have collaborated with Donald Urquhart and Will Levi Marshall to install work developed for the Aberdeen Community Health and Care Village. 6
Paula Thompson was commissioned to design artwork for the windows in the Emergency Care Centre (Aberdeen Royal Infirmary) foyer to provide an element of privacy between the patients visiting the centre and those using the cafe. GHAT also worked with The Archie Foundation to commission Tumin & Prendergast, along with Lynne Strachan, to create work for two sites in Orkney. The most recent commission has been for a site-specific work outside The Suttie Arts Space by Laura Buckley.
7
GHAT is currently working on the refurbishment of the Neonatal Unit in Aberdeen Maternity Hospital, the Occupational Therapy department at Royal Cornhill Hospital and the new Ophthalmic Clinic in Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. GHAT is involved in creating the arts strategy for two new capital projects on the Foresterhill Site in Aberdeen, The Baird Family Hospital and The Anchor Centre. GHAT works hand-in-hand with NHSG to design specific colour schemes that are both relevant and sympathetic to the context of each individual ward, involving the staff who work at each location. In its most practical form, this can be the selection of colour as a means of identifying a ward or clinic, and the wayfinding within.
Tamsin Greenlaw, Project Manager
“Working with GHAT has been a great experience as they develop briefs which are exciting and imaginative while engaging with the artist throughout the whole creative process when working on a public art commission. Their assistance has been invaluable when creating initial links with staff in the hospital and the general public at the consultation process through to supporting the artist at key stakeholders meetings and advising on issues regarding budget, infection control and health and safety.� Lynne Strachan, Artist Commissions at Neonatal, Organ donation, Emergency Care Centre (ARI), and Chalmers (Banff)

“coming from a clinical background, you kind of just think of hospital as somewhere you go to to be made well. It seems quite separate from the art world. I guess it makes sense that there should be a place there for patients to not feel like patients, if they’re stuck there as inpatients. It’s just not two worlds that I ever considered overlapping... ...it’s just something I’ve never put much consideration into because I always go to the hospital to work, never for recreational purposes.” Pharmacist, Foresterhill Health Campus (speaking about a film festival at The Suttie Arts Space)

Art Collection We have begun to consider the Art Collection as a library of artwork due to the increasing focus on interaction with, and selection by the users of the collection. In late 2014 we relocated the majority of the collection to a facility that provides both the care of the collection and easy access for staff and visitors. This relocation has helped to increase the involvement of NHSG staff in the curatorial process of organising exhibitions. This has had an extremely positive effect in communicating the quality of the collection as a valuable cultural asset and offers a ‘behind-the-scenes’ insight into all of the work required to organise and hang artwork. An evaluation of the collection was initiated in early 2015 and will be undertaken every year. This is to evaluate the current market value of each individual artwork. It has been exciting for us to research individual artworks in detail and to consider them in the context of the development of the careers of each artist.
Fraser MacDonald, Collection Coordinator Each location has a completely different atmosphere and we are always listening to responses from the people who actively use the space. A significant amount of time is spent fulfilling artwork requests from departments. A process of consultation, selection and curation ensures each exhibition is well-considered and reflects its audience. It is a real highlight to work with staff – who often consult with patients – to create a positive environment in which everyone feels valued.

“I have really enjoyed having the art in the department, as have all the patients and other staff! It makes such a difference to patients to have something to focus on whilst having their scans, whether they like the picture or not! The large sheep picture is certainly a talking point with patients, some love it and some hate it. I call it my marmite picture! However people react to it, and it creates a conversation regarding GHAT. The artworks in the corridor are also enjoyed by all who pass through, people often comment on how homely it feels, hopefully it relaxes them a little. This is not something we could have achieved without the arts trust.� Radiographer, Aberdeen Royal Infirmary (speaking about an exhibition of GHAT Art Collection artwork within the radiography department, ARI)

Artroom Artroom enhances well-being by providing specially designed art sessions for patients to engage with a range of art forms, offering inspiring challenges and enabling creative development. The sessions have a therapeutic and rehabilitative benefit for a person which complements their medical treatment. In a hospital setting a person can become isolated from reality and feel out of control. A person-centred art session gives back choice; it helps with selfconfidence, personal empowerment and enhances patient experience through creative expression.The project is particularly beneficial to long-term patients as Artroom is inclusive and invites families and visitors to join in. Artroom has expanded in recent years, with successful pilots at Royal Aberdeen Children’s Hospital and Royal Cornhill Hospital developing into regular fixtures. The project employs eight artists and two writers in residence. GHAT currently runs five Artroom projects across four sites at Royal Aberdeen Children’s Hospital, Roxburghe House, Royal Cornhill Hospital and Woodend Hospital. NHS Grampian and GHAT have commissioned a piece of research to establish why the Artroom model has such a high impact, particularly with severe dementia patients. Consultants are amazed at the level of patient engagement and reports show that incident levels decrease dramatically on the ward when an art session is on. There is huge scope for development and expansion of this project to other units within NHS Grampian and this research will help with funding applications to bring the benefits of Artroom to many more patients across the region.

Artroom continues to run thanks to external funding sources and kind donations from former participants and supporters. We would like to thank the organisations that allow Artroom to continue to go from strength to strength: The Friends of Roxburghe House, The RS Macdonald Charitable Trust, The Archie Foundation and NHSG Endowment Funds.
Jo Hastie, Artroom Coordinator
“To be given a terminal prognosis is devastating for both the patient and family. It takes away your future, the opportunity to grow old and grey with your spouse and to watch your children grow and thrive. You lose your independence and sense of self, your purpose and role in life. Yet in the midst of this suffering lies the Artroom, an oasis of positivity and fulfilment providing a different purpose, one of creativity and self expression. It is a place where the self is rediscovered and allowed to flourish, a place where you feel valued and worth investing in. It’s ‘medicine’ for the soul and every bit as vital as drugs and chemotherapy, a life affirming experience that has changed both of our lives for the better.” Ken & Siobhan Ross (speaking about Artroom sessions at Roxburghe House)

“…you know, the whole trauma of operations and everything else, which just disappeared with this current exhibition. It has this sort of maritime feel to it which, as a once upon a time sailor…I’m a professional geologist. I’ve spent a lot of time on beaches, shorelines and everything. So it all just fitted into my head. It was really brilliant, everywhere else on the ward you could go round and round but there were so many people you know, I could go round and round here and think, you know. My mind could be opened in this place, you know, it’s very conducive to thinking.” Patient (speaking about ‘Terra Nova’ by FOUND at The Suttie Arts Space, December 2015)

Exhibitions The GHAT Exhibitions Programme is an opportunity to support artists to create their first solo exhibition or most ambitious project or exhibition to date, and bring exciting, ambitious new artwork to all our audiences in welcoming settings. The Suttie Arts Space and The Small Gallery are within Aberdeen Royal Infirmary and we run an off-site venue at The Dress Circle Bar in His Majesty’s Theatre, in Aberdeen city centre. Both The Suttie Arts Space and The Small Gallery are open 24/7, which for GHAT is hugely important in providing access to arts for everyone, at any time of day. Each exhibition is seen by a public audience of over 2000 individuals per day. The Suttie Arts Space commissions new projects that always result in an exhibition, with other outcomes including performances and published material. These projects bring together a mix of national and local artists, create partnerships with other arts organisations, and enable us to introduce a diverse range of arts to our audience from painting, through to sculpture, performance, film, printmaking and photography. The Small Gallery and His Majesty’s Theatre are spaces with open submission exhibition programmes where artists have the opportunity to exhibit a new or recently produced body of work. GHAT also targets recent art graduates across Scotland for these two venues, often to undertake their first exhibition since graduation. Artworks in these two venues are available for sale, and artists have sold pieces to staff, patients and visitors.

“The strangest experience this evening. I wandered into the arts space and read the artwork ‘re: Hello Sam’ on the very day I was supposed to fly from Aberdeen to Beijing for one week. The fact is, my son is an inpatient at RACH and consequently my trip has been cancelled, and through complete serendipity Sam Dransfield’s work spoke to me today and I thought I would share this journey and they are in connection with you. Thank you for this wonderful peaceful space.” Relative of Patient (during ‘H20’ exhibition by Sam Dransfield & Hannah Imlach at The Suttie Arts Space, July 2015)

Mark-1
The World’s First Full-Body MRI Scanner The world’s first full body MRI Scanner is now situated within The Suttie Arts Space, and on public display 24/7. The groundbreaking achievement to create Mark-1 took place on the Foresterhill Campus, where Aberdeen Royal Infirmary is situated, in the late 1970’s, and is truly one the most significant breakthroughs in medical science. Mark-1 is situated on a bespoke plinth, in the exact form in which it was used clinically in the early 1980s. GHAT commissioned film maker Rob Page to create a documentary film to tell the story of the team of physicists and technical staff in the Medical Physics Department of the University of Aberdeen who designed and built it, led by Professor John Mallard. The film explains the science of MRI and tells the story of the team of ‘half mad scientists’ who paved the way for the diagnosis and treatment of countless millions of individuals through this technology. Some of the original team, including engineer Eddie Stevenson (a well-known Aberdonian through his charity work and famous Christmas light display), rebuilt the scanner over a weekend, first taking it apart to move, then rebuilding it piece by piece, including the original sheets of acetate between the magnetic coils that prevented it from short-circuiting.

Events & Workshops GHAT hosts numerous public events across NHS Grampian. The opening of The Suttie Arts Space has been a valuable opportunity to provide space to host events that work in partnership with local organisations. Between 2014-16 GHAT has hosted music performances in partnership with SOUND Festival, live digital programming with SONADA Festival (Sonic Arts Days Aberdeen), two Film Festivals, hundreds of artist-led art classes, and numerous other events! This is a hugely important part of the work of GHAT as it livens up the time during exhibition changeover periods and offers new experiences of the arts to GHAT’s audience. GHAT ran two art workshops per week from the opening of The Suttie Arts Space in November 2014 until late 2015. Each class was led by core GHAT staff and local arts graduates and attended by NHSG staff, patients and visitors. There is an exhibition space at the entrance to the Emergency Care Centre, ARI, where a selection of artworks produced during these classes is exhibited. The classes involved collage, painting, sculpture, printing, life drawing, and each one was inspired by the current GHAT exhibition programme!

Publications Exhibitions We produced the first publications for the Exhibitions Programme as part of the Terra Nova exhibition by FOUND, which opened at The Suttie Arts Space in December 2015. In partnership with Glasgowbased record label Chemikal Underground, we produced an edition of 300 12” vinyl records that contained the full soundtrack created by FOUND for the Terra Nova exhibition, as well as info and images from the project. We also produced a written publication detailing the story of Dr William Clark Soutar’s photographs, the inspiration for the project, and the images produced by FOUND. The record was launched at a live performance event at Summerhall, an arts venue in Edinburgh, in July 2016. Artroom A book about Artroom was published in 2016, detailing the experience of the project from the point of view of patients, relatives, staff, and the artists and writers at Artroom. The book contains information about the Artroom project across all venues: Woodend Hospital, Royal Aberdeen Children’s Hospital. Roxburghe House, and Royal Cornhill Hospital. It has been distributed widely amongst staff, patients and families and has been a valuable tool in communicating the importance of the project for everyone involved. Mark-1 MRI Scanner A booklet was published in 2016 outlining the fascinating story of Mark-1 and is available at The Suttie Arts Space as an accompaniment to the film by Rob Page (Schedule D Productions). All publications are available via the GHAT office and website.
