Queen Elizabeth Hospital
Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Gateshead’s principal acute hospital, has commissioned several site-specific artworks. The arts in health programme began here in 1988, and commissions have been managed and supported by Gateshead Libraries and Arts.
The new Treatment Centre by Ryder HKS Architects prioritised the role of artwork in terms of the patient experience and commissioned artists to make work that engages patients throughout their visit.
A series of ten glass contemplation panels were
commissioned within assessment bays to provide an aesthetic focus for patients in a technical and medical environment.
