Inscape is a unique Tasmanian charity that supports patients, families and hospital staff by providing access to inspiring and inclusive arts initiatives within Tasmanian hospitals. We transform and enrich the environment and provide comfort to families at a time of health stress and trauma.
We rely on philanthropy, donations, grants and the generosity of the public to support our programs.
“I think this is a marvellous program. I am a doctor at the hospital and can see how much patients appreciate this. Many are scared, lonely, bored and in pain. The chance to enjoy, make and appreciate art and music is an incredible gift. I hope when I am on receiving end - in the bed and not beside it you are there for me too.”
— Dr Anna Johnston, Royal Hobart Hospital
