Gloucestershire Royal Hospital’s Artist in Schools Programme (GRASP)
involved more than 250 children, 30 teachers and 20 hospital staff members
in a project which linked five primary schools with five hospital departments
through artists’ residencies. It gave children an opportunity to
learn about the workings of a modern hospital, enabled hospital staff to
engage with local children outside a treatment situation and resulted in
a series of much loved, small-scale artworks for the participating departments.
