Oxford Health Arts Partnership – intergenerational project art display

Back in March/April 2023 the City Community Hospital took part in an intergenerational project with the Bodleian Library and their artwork is now on display at the Western Library as part of this exhibition.

On Friday 8 September, Dr Nicholas Perkins, Associate Professor and Tutor in English, St Hugh’s College, University of Oxford popped into the ward to present us with an image from the exhibition which is of a tea set which was created by patients and staff alongside the other participants who were from Spires School and Oxford Hospital School.

The project was co-ordinated for the Trust by Oxford Health Arts Partnership, participants worked with Dr Nicholas Perkins and our Artist in Residence Dionne Freeman to create the tea set and a series of canvases which went between each group, who worked on the theme of the Gifts and Books exhibition of the stories from medieval books.
