Artists submit work for Spalding hospital

Description:

Over thirty pieces of artwork have been submitted for display at Spalding's new Johnson Community Hospital.

Artwork is an important aspect of the hospital, providing signage to aid people with reading difficulties whilst enhancing the look and feel of the building to create a more welcoming patient experience.

Before the hospital opened on June 1, local artists were invited to create a piece of work that fitted into the existing themes of coastal, farmland, woodland, skies and Welland.

A number of pieces will be selected for display within the new hospital, for the enjoyment of patients, visitors and staff.

Simon Temple, Hospital Matron, said: "We are so pleased to have received such a variety of pieces. They include traditional pictures of flowers and woodlands to photographs submitted by the charitable organisation "Sense" from their clients and some more abstract pieces such as a bowl."

"This represents a good cross section of the community offering us a wide range to choose from. I look forward to judging the pieces on 11 June with the rest of the panel," he added.

The panel consists of:
