There are over 1,500 artworks in our collection, consisting of modern and contemporary pieces dating from the 1930s to the present day. The collection includes artworks by both established and emerging artists, including paintings, prints and photography.
We are proud to have works by many well known artists such as Elizabeth Blackadder, Alan Davie, Eduardo Paolozzi, Barbara Rae and many more.
We have established longstanding and are nurturing new working relationships with NHS Charities nationwide through our artwork loan scheme.
There are many benefits of having artworks on display:
-Improving mood
-Providing interest and distraction
-Reducing anxiety
-Making a space more welcoming for staff and visitors
Currently, over half of our collection is on display in health, social care and community spaces across Scotland, from Balfour Hospital in Orkney to Ayr University Hospital in Ayrshire. We are committed to increasing the number of people who experience our artwork.
We have recently created a new Art Collection Survey to gather feedback for our Artwork Loans. If you have experienced any of our artworks in a health or social care setting, we would love to hear your feedback!
