Hospital Rooms X Anthropologie
The brilliant arts and mental health charity Hospital Rooms commissions artworks by such celebrated artists as Julian Opie, Bob and Roberta Smith and Gavin Turk for NHS mental health inpatient units across the UK.
‘We want to ensure people who have severe and enduing mental health conditions are surrounded by beautiful and restorative environments,’ says Hospital Rooms co-founder Niamh White, ‘and have access to creative activities to offer them hope, dignity and a positive view of the future.’
This year Hospital Rooms has partnered with Anthropolgie to further its mission. Like Hospital Rooms, Anthropologie believes in ‘the power of art to move people, to give people a voice and to make the world a better place to be in,’ says White.
In addition to supporting Hospital Room’s Digital Art School — which offers free creative workshops to inpatient mental health units and the general public — Anthropologie has commissioned a work by Susie Hamilton at Askew Ward, Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit in west London. White describes the transformative piece as ‘vibrant, hopeful and filled with the promise of light.’
What’s more, for Mental Health Awareness Week (10-16 May), Anthropologie will donate £1 to Hospital Rooms for every purchase made online or in store, up to a maximum donation of £10,000. Splashing lockdown savings has never felt so good. Will it be a new maxi or watermelon tote?
