Hospital artwork receives Public Art Award

The Royal Aberdeen Childrens Hospital's Lottery-funded artworks recently received the Saltire Society's Arts and Crafts in Architecture Award 2005.  Jackie Bremner, the woman who headed the scheme, said, "this is a wonderful recognition of the imaginative, high quality and diverse range of artworks commissioned for the new Royal Aberdeen Childrens Hospital."

The award is the result of an exciting, collaborative five-year adventure involving local school children, staff, the design team, contractors, Grampian Hospital Arts Trust, art agency PACE, and 15 artists from throughout the UK." A second phase of the project recently started, which focuses on the wards and clinical departments. The public art project was supported by the Scottish Arts Council receiving a National Lottery Award of £330,000 in March 2003.
