Education
All creative projects enable learning and some are designed specifically to share experiences and knowledge. Some are specifically about professional or personal development for healthcare professionals or artists. Conference and advocacy work brings awareness of the arts and health field to large audiences.

In October 2005, Lime commissioned four artists and an experienced painter/decorator to transform the children's dental waiting room area at the University of Manchester Dental Hospital which had been described by Linda Adamson, Modern Matron as....'very drab, in desperate need of decoration and not child friendly at all'. Sensory, distracting, calming and interactive qualities were incorporated to create a relaxing and engaging space by interpreting the theme of 'under the sea' in an imaginative, and abstract, way, appealing to children of all ages.

WORLDS APART
ROB VALE
CHRIS FOSTER
2005
Worlds Apart is a beautiful and poignant exhibition of 27 new photographs relating to the recent years that Chris Foster has lived and worked in Asia.
Each of the four main hospitals in the Pennine Trust hosts a different series of works, that as a whole create a vibrant and original exhibition, linking each hospital to the others as well as the people and places depicted in the images.
Hiroshima was the final location of a seven-year journey for Chris. The groups of photographs document the characters, colours, shapes and details that influenced his time in and around 2005, six decades after that infamous day when for us Hiroshima became a moment rather than a place.
From the sombre outlines of Hiroshima's Memorial Museum to the vibrancy of a Japanese Autumn, these moments caught on film create a context for our understanding of a real place, heard of by everyone, visited by few, worlds apart from our own.
