GOSH Arts
GOSH Arts is the arts programme at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). Our live arts programme, art collection and temporary exhibitions inspire creativity, create welcoming environments, and offer meaningful and innovative cultural opportunities for communities both in and around the hospital.
Our work plays an essential role in enhancing the hospital experience. Engaging with visiting artists and having art developed in collaboration with our community integrated into our buildings helps to create less clinical environments, contributes to reducing stress and anxiety and creates space for reflection and exchange.
We offer a wide range of live art experiences for patients and families to enjoy. We work with a team of experienced artists and cultural partners to offer unique interactive experiences across a range of art forms including music, theatre, dance and the visual arts.
Get involved
As a patient or family you might encounter artists and musicians in outpatients, see a live theatre performance on your ward, or connect with one of our longer-term projects and help shape the future of healthcare and the hospital.
Ask the Play Team to find out what’s on during your visit or email GOSHArts@gosh.nhs.uk to request a visit from one of our Resident Artists.
Loved the music. Absolutely beautiful. Brought a great atmosphere to a normally boring quiet waiting room. Thank you!
