Grampian Hospitals Art Trust (GHAT) commissioned five printmakers to create new work for exhibition in hospitals throughout the North East of Scotland. The prints extend the GHAT Collection that places artwork into healthcare buildings for the appreciation of staff, patients and visitors.
The original funding proposal was initially rejected and then subject to the Scottish Arts Council appeals procedure. The appeal was successful and the artists were subsequently commissioned.
