Born in 1959 in UK, “Paintings in Hospitals” is an organization that takes advantage of the beneficial potentialities of visual arts in order to improve the emotional dimension and the physical environment around patients and their families. Acting across the health sector, including hospitals, care homes and cancer centers, every year the association preserves the patients’ wellbeing through almost 4,000 artworks and interactive projects that help transform the experience users have. All this in collaboration with important British cultural bodies, such as the Victoria and Albert Museum, with whom it has been working for about 10 years, co-curating interesting exhibitions in the healthcare environment.
