Past projects

We've been developing collaborative art projects with galleries, museums, schools and artists for over 15 years. Each special project has aimed to provide patients and carers with the benefits of both making art and working alongside practising artists.

Here, you'll find our past projects. See our current projects here.

    PIPERZART for Paintings in Hospitals

    We believe that art is an incredibly cathartic activity, and wish for it to inspire wellbeing by being readily available at hospitals.

  • Eleanor's Fundraiser

    Eleanor's Fundraiser

    The pandemic has really made me see how hard care workers and the NHS work and the effect it has had on their patients' mental health. I am very passionate about art and it helps me emotionally so i believe it could really help others too. I want to support this charity as I hope it will make a difference to the environment of hospitals. I am working towards my Duke of Edinburgh award and I thought this would be a good opportunity to fundraise for a good cause.
