Moving On
Moving On, part of a £90 million PFI capital development for Avon & Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust (AWP), was completed between 2003 and 2007. Willis Newson commissioned and project managed artworks for sites in Bristol, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset. We developed a strategy to help manage the process of transition to the new buildings and defined an arts programme with the aim of creating the best possible environment for care within the new developments.
A research project undertaken by AWP and the University of the West of England (UWE) evaluated the impact of the programme.
Moving On has its own dedicated website at www.movingonarts.info.

"'Moving On' is unique: it is impressive for the scale of the commission for arts in mental health; remarkable as a site-specific collection of quality artwork; and exemplary for the evaluation of the project..."
