Arts Survey: Have your say As the construction of the new Clinical Services Building takes shape, planning is underway for the artworks which will feature. The hospital has established a committee with local community representatives and staff to provide direction on the arts and culture strategy for the new building. As part of the art and culture strategy, local galleries and organisations will be approached. Arts consultant Karen Burton said staff and community engagement was vital to a meaningful arts and culture strategy.

“Engagement allows us to identify key themes and important cultural characteristics, as well as to foster a sense of connection, belonging and ownership in the project,” she said. “Participation in the art making project provides opportunities for staff and the public to engage positively with the hospital to help create a warm and welcoming physical and cultural environment. Research has shown that art within hospital settings helps to create a nurturing and healing environment for patients.
