The Care Through Creativity project
Inscape Tas launched a series of 25-day artist residencies at the Royal Hobart Hospital (RHH) in 2021 and 2022. The artist residencies were an opportunity for artists to be immersed in the hospital environment and respond to the experience through their arts practice to produce an artistic outcome.
It enabled them to connect with staff, patients, and families. Inscape Tas managed and directly supported the selected artists.
The project was possible due to project funding from the Australia Council of the Arts for 2 residencies. The Royal Hobart Hospital Donation Fund also contributed financially to enable a 3rd 25-day residency.
The successful applicants were Allan Mansell, Bec Stevens and Claire Pendrigh.
This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body.
