About

GOSH Arts is the arts programme at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). Our live arts programme, art collection and temporary exhibitions inspire creativity, create welcoming environments, and offer meaningful and innovative cultural opportunities for communities both in and around the hospital.

Our work plays an essential role in enhancing the hospital experience. Engaging with visiting artists and having art developed in collaboration with our community integrated into our buildings helps to create less clinical environments, contributes to reducing stress and anxiety and creates space for reflection and exchange.

Want to get involved?
GOSH Arts run Culture Club for staff. We organise workshops, tours, performances and events that are free for all Hospital and Charity staff to attend.

The GOSH Choir is open to all and no experience or commitment is necessary, the choir sing a relaxed and fun repertoire and meet on a termly basis.

Please email GOSH Arts to join the mailing lists for either group, specifying which you would like to join.

Cherelle Sappleton is a cooperative and collection of organisms housed in a woman’s body. Their practice centres on photographic media with an interest in feminist agendas, experimental theatre often utilising abstraction. Blending these elements together, the work they make uses the black female body as a starting point to explore and respond to issues of representation, agency and the materiality of mainstream photographic images primarily via collage but also moving image and installation.

They studied Fine Art and Drama jointly at Bath Spa University (2006), after which they completed a post-graduate diploma in Fine Art at Byam Shaw School of Art (2011) and MA in Fine Art Central Saint Martins (2013). They have exhibited in a variety of solo and groups shows and most recently been commissioned by V&A museum, Hospital Rooms, The National Trust, National Theatre, Harpers' Bazaar China and Adidas. They were also artist in resident at London Print Studio in 2019 and the Florence Trust, a year-long artist residency and professional development programme based in London 2017-2018.
