It was so exciting to support the artist Orlanda Broom as she made her mural for Hospital Rooms (HR), using only Galeria paint and mediums, on the Rosebud Ward – the first HR project with a focus on sustainability.  This is what she had to say about the experience in her newsletter this weekend:

 

‘I’m delighted to share some images from the recently completed Hospital Rooms project that I am proud to be have been a part of. The ethos of the charity is to bring art into mental health hospitals to improve and transform these spaces.

 

After visiting the NHS Rosebud Unit in Kent, along with four other artists, each of us held workshops to get to know and consult with the service users and staff. This particular project also aimed to focus on sustainability with each artist having environmental themes at the core of their work and also in our practical approach to travel, materials used, etc.

 

Working on-site was unlike anything I’ve done before. I wanted the murals to act as an opening into another space, a landscape that would allow for imagination and a connection to nature. For me personally, it has been a wonderful and fulfilling experience. Winsor & Newton were kind enough to sponsor, supplying paint and art materials, as well as making this short film featuring the project at Rosebud. Further features and photos on the W&N website.’

After the pension reform, it was important for people over the age of 55 to be able to meet a specialist informing them of their rights (date of departure and estimated amount of the pension).

This is how nearly 60 people were able to benefit from an individual interview with Gilles Bouvet, pension advisor at Malakoff Humanis.

People appreciated this initiative, which provides all the answers to the complex subject of retirement.

Après la réforme des retraites, il était important que les personnes de plus de 55 ans puissent rencontrer un spécialiste les informant de leurs droits (date de départ et montant estimé de la retraite).

C’est ainsi que près de 60 personnes ont pu bénéficier d’un entretien individuel avec Gilles Bouvet, conseiller retraite de la société Malakoff Humanis.

Le personnel apprécie cette initiative qui permet d’obtenir toutes les réponses face au sujet complexe qu’est la retraite.

Taking the opportunity that our colleague Lily is currently on a well-deserved vacation, I will step into marketing shoes and do some internal PR.I encourage you to take a look at the photos below. We present our stand, prepared for the annual meeting of Urban Sketchers Poland; and a few more shots from the event.It took place almost 2 weeks ago, but Irek and his helpers still live with memories of an intense and very fruitful meeting. The meeting was attended by over 150 people who had the opportunity to try many of our great Winsor & Newton products. Our friend artist Justyna Woynowska also presented some of them by preparing sample sketches with gouache, watercolor, crayons, pencils, etc.

The whole thing looked great, don’t you agree with me?

Many thanks to Lily for coordinating the preparations for USK 2023, and to Irek (and Daria, and Krzysztof – our helpers), who bravely represented Colart and the great Winsor&Newton brand!
