The built environment affects us all in subtle and often intangible ways. Creative projects designed to improve or enhance environments through involving staff and patient groups give people a voice in how a place looks and feels and provide a greater sense of ownership.

This state of the art hospital development will provide cutting edge medical care for the people of Manchester and the North West. Our vision is to compliment that care with high quality art and design. By 2010 there will be four new hospitals on the Central Manchester site, a new Children's hospital, an Eye Hospital, a hospital for Adults and a hospital for Women.



The Arts Programme creates an inspiring and engageing hospital environment sensitive to patient needs and their care. It offers opportunities to embrace Manchester's creative talent and connect with nationally respected artists enhancing the cultural map of the city.



10 major art commissions enhance the New Hospitals spaces using a range of media including glass, sculpture, large scale design, landscape, photography, vinyl and moving image. One commission in the Eye hospital is a tactile work.



Further landscape work and a major iconic art work will be installed by mid 2010.
