About the Exhibition
Throughout the exhibition we invite our visitors to engage with stories, perceptions and interpretations made by Chelsea Pensioners working in a range of styles and techniques. This curated collection is an experience that celebrates expression and creativity in its many forms. Our Artist in Residence, Grace Holliday describes the exhibition as “A body of work that connects through a shared curiosity for making. Our ethos across the Hospital is very much art for all, and here you will find not only a sense of community but also individuality - something that is so important in the arts across all stages of life”.
The art programme at the Royal Hospital Chelsea is delivered in collaboration with the activities team at the Royal Hospital Chelsea and sponsored by Loveday.
