Hospital Art Sessions

OBG ran a series of introductory art sessions which took place in the gallery between March 2008 and June 2008 and again between March 2009 and June 2009. The sessions were organised between OBG and the Occupational Therapy Department at the Mater Hospital and the City Hospital for patients who had recently left treatment to provide an introduction to art and use art as a vehicle for building self esteem in a supportive environment.

Some of the comments were as followed:

‘ The class is the highlight of my week, I will really miss it’

‘I felt I gained in confidence and enjoyed the friendliness of everyone involved’
