Amisha Karia, head of collection, loans & programming at Paintings in Hospitals, said: “I am thrilled this exhibition is touring to the Antenatal Day Assessment Unit at Milton Keynes Hospital. I believe it is the perfect location for a meditative exhibition that features mindfulness exercises to the support health and wellbeing of expectant mothers and those caring for them."
Stuart Isaac, artistic & programmes director at Arts for Health Milton Keynes, said: “The artworks help promote a wellbeing focused environment and innovatively encourage engagement with the artworks through the mindfulness exercises.”
You can catch the exhibition at the Antenatal Day Assessment Unit and Obstetric Ultrasound area at Milton Keynes University Hospital. To help patients and staff engage with the display, you'll have the chance to do a series of practical mindfulness exercises.
