For Mental Health Week 2015, we commissioned visual artist Finbar McHugh to create his monumental mural ‘Time’ in the foyer of University Hospital Galway to see if art can change how we feel in a hospital.

For Mental Health Week 2015, we commissioned visual artist Finbar McHugh to create his monumental mural ‘Time’ in the foyer of University Hospital Galway to see if art can change how we feel in a hospital. Revisiting it for World Mental Health Day 2016, he introduced a ‘Gratitude Box’ to the foyer and produced a postcard, inviting the hospital community to send someone a message of thanks, which we facilitated. We said a fond farewell to ‘Time’ at the end of 2018 but this short film by Lakshika Serasinhe documents its making.
