"Pieces of Us" - a mindful, drop in session for the Spinal Injuries Centre team 🖼️🎨

It was Administrative Professionals day on Wednesday and we worked with the admin team at the Spinal Injuries centre to create "Dutch Tiles" depicting images of anything personally meaningful to each member of staff.

These tiles will be framed and displayed together in the teams workspace, forming a collaborative artwork celebrating the people who work in this newly renovated space.

This project was funded by Sheffield Hospitals Charity and facilitated by the Arts in Health Team. Thanks to Horatio's Garden for allowing us to use their beautiful garden room.

We can't wait to share what these images look like displayed!

Great to see our Damien Hirst print back on the wall in it's new location near Huntsman Entrance at the Northern General Hospital.

We were lucky enough to be one of the hospitals which received a copy of this artwork during the COVID-19 pandemic. The artwork was created to raise money for the NHS during that time.

Hope you enjoy this artwork as much as we do!
Thanks to Sheffield Hospitals Charity for funding the framing.

A great session at the women's 's pain clinic in Burngreave earlier in January. We made friendship bracelets.

One lady told us how therapeutic it had been to just concentrate on making something for someone special.

Another said that she didn't think she could do it because her hands had been so painful lately. 45 minutes later she had completed a bracelet and told us her hands felt better.

Today was the official opening of our latest gallery exhibition which celebrates the strength, resilience and contribution of migrant workers in the UK health sector.

"Embers of Care", is installed in the Vickers Link Gallery at the Northern General Hospital and was today officially opened by Lisa Johnson, Operations Director who praised both the artwork and the stories behind each piece.

We were thrilled to have in attendance the artist, Yayen, who's journey from the Philippines to work in the UK inspired the project which is funded by the Arts Council. Also present were Sheeba and Anna, the two STH staff members who's stories are depicted in the original piece in the gallery.

Yayen intends to create 100 portraits of colleagues who have travelled here from all over the world. in 2025 Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust joined with 18 other NHS Trusts to be part of the project. Participating staff shared their stories which are reflected in the artworks you see here.

For the full stories behind each artwork, and to see a fascinating video presentation by the artist, please visit the project website at www.yayenart.com/embersofcare

This exhibition will tour our three hospital gallery spaces which are generously supported by Sheffield Hospitals Charity

We love to hear your feedback on our gallery exhibitions at sth.arts@nhs.net
