Partners, Health Trusts and the N.I. Hospice
There are Arts Care Committees attached to Health Trusts all over Northern
Ireland. Each committee works in close partnership with the Belfast office
and comprises members of the clinical, managerial, administrative and Estates
Services, Health Trust staff as well as local arts enthusiasts.
There is also patient representation on some of the committees and all members
sit voluntarily. Artists-in-Residence are attached to the 5 Health & Social Care Trusts and
work in various settings in these Trust areas so that the people who make decisions about the
art provision are the people who will 'live' with the art.
Arts Care also engages project artists who work on a
project to project basis and these artists also work to the local Arts Care
Committee. The Artists-in-Residence work very closely with these committees
in deciding what projects to undertake and consult with staff and patients
to finalise concepts and themes.
