Journeys: The Healing Arts, is a selection of bespoke artworks from the CW+ art collection, commissioned to enhance the environment and improve patient outcomes at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. This is the first time we have exhibited artworks from its collection on this scale to a wider public within a gallery setting.
Journeys: The Healing Arts exhibits over 20 artists and explores the different communities and stories that make up Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. This unique exhibition explores the journey from traditional drawn artworks through to innovative digital and screen-based artworks, including a new commission created by musician and artist Brian Eno. Many of the drawn artworks capture life in the hospital during the pandemic and are a visual representation of the way the hospital and its communities changed so dramatically. The exhibition also explores the place that both these mediums have within the hospital community and displays art that reflects care, support and recovery.*
