New Faces
Art in Healthcare has two new team members. Margaret McCormick is an experienced and respected Curator, working closely with the collection to curate bodies of work for display in hospitals and healthcare settings across Scotland.
She’s supported by Rowan Dahl, as Collection Assistant. Rowan is a recent graduate working with maintaining the collection and supporting the curation of work, as well as writing this news update. We’re excited to be joining the team and are really looking forward to doing what we can to help improve the lives of people
