Art students tasked with brightening up Bury Hospice

Bury Hospice has teamed up with Bury College to give Art students the chance to build their professional practice skills and work collaboratively in responding to a live brief whilst working with a charity that is close to the hearts of many. 

Bury Hospice aims to help people fulfil their wishes during life-limiting illnesses, and they work hard to provide quality care whenever and wherever it is needed. 

Students from the Level 3 Extended Diploma, Fine Art and Pre-Degree Foundation Diploma have been tasked with developing a mural that will be used in the lounge area that the patients will use for recreational activities. 

They have been given the freedom to design the space, with a view to having this as an ongoing project year after year to help brighten up the Hospice. 

Mary Ainsworth, Foundation Diploma Course Leader at Bury College, said: “This is such an amazing project for the students to be involved with. Not only is it giving them the experience of a live client brief, but they will be creating something that is going to have a huge impact on local people and the community.”
