Air Arts proudly showcases the talents of local and national artists within our hospital exhibitions based on many different themes. Appreciated by thousands of staff and patients across Royal Derby Hospital, Florence Nightingale Hospital and Queens Hospital Burton. To preserve these tremendous exhibitions and have a record of what adorned the walls over the many years. We have archived each exhibition on google maps on this page for your enjoyment.

Illuminate: Autumn/Winter 2020

The works displayed have been created in response to the idea of Illumination in its many forms. A moment to shine a light on people, places and the human spirit.

In these uncertain times, art and creativity has helped people make sense of the world. Colours and gratitude have been in abundance the past few months and we wanted this to continue throughout the walls of the hospitals. Re-energising the space, both in reality and the virtual world, ultimately sharing appreciation to all who work within them.

Unity: Spring/Summer 2021

“Health of the unity is the health of the community. Unless you have the health of the unity there is no community.” – Florence Nightingale

Unity – The Florence Nightingale Legacy 

An exhibition demonstrating Unity, in its many forms and the power of working together. Whilst celebrating the ‘Year of the Nurse and Midwife’, with particular emphasis on the (also postponed!) bicentenary of Florence Nightingale’s birth.  What better point in our history to celebrate the amazing professions that are nursing and midwifery and to shine a light on the most famous nurse of them all?

Solace: Autumn/Winter 2021

“Art is the one place we all turn to for Solace” – Carrie Mae Weems

An exhibition conveying positivity, tranquillity and hope through a series of artworks reflecting the impact of creativity, thoughts and places which bring a sense of solace in its many forms.
