About

GOSH Art Collection

GOSH Arts is the arts programme at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). Our live arts programme, art collection and temporary exhibitions inspire creativity, create welcoming environments, and offer meaningful and innovative cultural opportunities for communities both in and around the hospital.

Our work plays an essential role in enhancing the hospital experience. Engaging with visiting artists and having art developed in collaboration with our community integrated into our buildings helps to create less clinical environments, contributes to reducing stress and anxiety and creates space for reflection and exchange.

The tour is an opportunity to view some of our integrated artworks, hear how we develop these site-specific works with children, young people, families and staff and to see first-hand the impact of art in a healthcare setting.
