The RUH has one of Bath’s largest and most accessible exhibition spaces, open 12 hours a day, 7 days a week. The hospital exhibits a variety of work by both amateur and professional artists, and arts organisations, in order to enhance the environment and improve the experience for patients, staff and visitors. In addition to the public areas, we sell and arrange artwork for display in wards and departments.
A third from all sales made goes to the RUH Arts Fund, helping to continue the work we do for the Trust.
There is price and contact information by every picture on display at the hospital. Contact Exhibitions Manager, Tony Smith: tonysmith3@nhs.net if you would like to buy an artwork.
Our aim is to ensure that the quality of artwork and framing throughout the Trust is of a consistent high quality. We rarely buy artwork for public spaces, saving money for the Trust whilst keeping the displays fresh and dynamic.
If you would like to exhibit your artwork at the RUH, please view our Exhibition Pack.
