To mark the milestone, Hospital Rooms will deliver a year-long programme of activity in partnership with NHS Trusts across the UK and our Gallery Circle network, including leading international gallery Victoria Miro.

The anniversary programme will span new commissions, exhibitions, national participation initiatives and fundraising moments, with two major points of activity taking place in July and September 2026.

A key moment in the anniversary year will be the launch of 10 Posters for 10 Years, a landmark artist edition project commissioning ten world-renowned artists to create limited-edition posters.

The project will form a nationwide creative gesture, extending Hospital Rooms’ impact by sharing these artist editions with NHS mental health settings across England. The launch will take place in July at WhiteCube in London, where one of the first editions, a new limited-edition by renowned artist Antony Gormley, will be unveiled, with further artists to be announced.

In September, the anniversary programme will culminate in a major exhibition at Victoria Miro and an auction at Bonhams. The exhibition brings together artists and artworks from Hospital Rooms’ four current NHS projects in Yorkshire, North East London, Birmingham and Bristol.

The exhibition will reflect both the charity’s most recent projects, as well as the cumulative impact of its first decade.

All activity across the anniversary year, including new artwork editions, exhibitions and fundraising events, will support the Hospital Rooms Future Fund, helping to secure long-term investment in creativity, care and cultural access within NHS mental health services.

Founded in 2016 by artist Tim A Shaw and curator Niamh White, Hospital Rooms has worked with artists, clinicians and service users to embed art within mental health care, creating environments that support dignity, creativity and recovery.

Further details of the 10-Year programme will be announced later this spring.
