Now the cold weather is with us even ceramic roses need to be protected from the frost. Once the worse of the weather has passed we will bring them back out again so you will know spring is on its way.
If you would like to see Paul Cummins Roses during December and January slightly smaller versions are on exhibition at Friargate Studios Café in Derby. The Bean Cafe is open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm.

Welcome to the Autumn/Winter season of exhibitions at Royal Derby Hospital. To celebrate five years of arts programming at Royal Derby Hospital we have returned to the theme at the heart of all of our exhibitions, performances and participation work; the ambition to provide positive stimulation and distraction for all of those who use the hospital.
This season features a few of the many well received professional artists that have exhibited in the trust over the past few years alongside inspiring collections of new work from three community organisations, keen to support the hospital.

Based on scenes from the historic Arboretum Park in Derby the large public wall spaces walls have come alive with detailed expressions of trees, birds and architecture.

PULL BACK THE CURTAIN
Derby Hospitals arts programme air commissioned Living Derby photographer Hannah Fox to create a new body of work using the hospitals Hidden Histories archive to discover and interpret some of the stories of Derby’s Hospitals. With the archive as an inspirational starting point and, through a series of meetings and shadowing experiences with staff across the Trust, Hannah explored some of the Hidden Histories within the hospitals own population.
Through a series of intimate portraits, Hannah has uncovered some of the people and places within the hospital, which she particularly identified with. A single image is placed permanently on each floor of the acute building, out of their place the subject and their environment are revealed.
