Tim A Shaw, the founder of UK based charity Hospital Rooms challenges the idea of what and who art is for. Hospital Room commission world-class artists to make extraordinary artworks for mental health units.

They turn drab and depressing places into beautiful environments. They believe in the power of art to provide joy and dignity and to stimulate heal 🔉.

❓We all know someone struggling with mental health: What can art and creativity do for them? What and who is art is for? How can art change the stigma of mental health illness and institutions? How can art provide joy and dignity to stimulate and heal?

✊🎨 🙂 I loved speaking with Tim. He's kind, thoughtful, compassionate and very smart. He's fully driven by his mission to transform the experience of mental health patients through art.

This is important, inspiring and beautiful.
