THE BARKANTINE HEALTH CENTRE TOWER HAMLETS PCT

Artist commissions by Polly Braden, Claire Brewster, John Dilnot, Rowena Dring, Françoise Dupré, Manami Hayasaki, Rachel Kelly, Valeria Nascimiento, Rob Ryan, Shelagh Wakely



Vital Arts worked with Tower Hamlets Primary Care Trust to deliver an art strategy to enhance the new Barkantine Health Centre, (incorporating the Barkantine Birth Centre). In consultation with users and service providers, Vital Arts commissioned a series of vibrant and beautifully crafted artworks that focused on the natural world, vitality and hand-making. We also curated and purchased a new art collection for the Centre from leading contemporary artists for display throughout patient areas.
