~POP UP PERFORMANCE WITH WILL~

The Royal Hobart Hospital’s foyer is transformed by the sound of Will Parsell’s guitar. You can feel the mood shift as the sound of live music drifts through the hospital - from busy and clinical, to joyful and curious.

If you would like to see more music in health care settings, please consider making a donation at www.inscape.org.au/donate

“The art often does the work. When artists bring their practice into a hospital space, it opens moments of connection that can be incredibly powerful.” - Leigh Tesch, Inscape Tas

~ EXHIBITION BY ONE OF OUR INSCAPE ARTISTS ~
Inscape Artist Rebecca Coot is part of a beautiful exhibition at Social Gallery in Salamanca. It’s the last weekend to see it, so make sure you check it out!

All three artists have an active engagement and connection with their environment which can be seen through the different mediums of painting, drawing and sculpture. They convey on canvas, paper or through three dimensional works a common thread, a passion for where they live.

We had a wonderful day showing Her Excellency the Governor of Tasmania a bit of what we do today! We visited the wards together with our musicians, enjoyed a pop up performance in the hospital foyer, presented Her Excellency with a life scape painting and wrapped up the day with art at the Roy Fagan Centre. We are so happy to be able to share what we do!

~ THANK YOU 2025 ~

As 2025 draws to a close, we're reflecting on another incredible year of bringing art and music into the heart of healthcare in Tasmania.

To the patients, families, and healthcare staff that have worked with us - thank you for welcoming creativity into your days. Your stories and smiles remind us why this work matters.

To our talented artists and musicians – you are the heart of Inscape. Your compassion, skill, and dedication create moments of joy, comfort, and connection when they're needed most.

And to our generous donors and partners – we couldn't do this without you! Your support enables us to maintain these vital programs.

As we look toward 2026, we need your help to continue this work. Art and music aren't luxuries in healthcare – they're essential. Every donation helps bring care through creativity.
