ENRICHING HOSPITALS THROUGH ARTISTIC EXPRESSION
Inscape Tas is a cultural organisation and registered Charity that has been operating in the Royal Hobart Hospital since 2015 — running music and art programs for patients, their families and staff. Inscape Tas enriches the healthcare experience by supporting Tasmanian artists and musicians to lead inspiring and inclusive arts initiatives within health settings. Our programs transform and enrich the environment, enhance recovery and provide comfort at a time of great stress.
What We Do
We initiate, develop and deliver art projects in health care environments.
We facilitate professional development, mentorship and training for artists and musicians to enable them to contribute positively within a non-art setting.
We provide skill development and wellbeing opportunities for staff in health care settings.
We ensure best practice in programs, through evaluation and quality assurance.
We are supported by private philanthropy and government grants.

“The power of music can not be dismissed, the power of music in this place is tripled. In hospital your world shrinks so much that small things have an enormous impact.
