The Arts Team on BBC Radio 4’s Front Row

The Arts Team or, ahem, ‘Dream Team’ featured in BBC Radio 4’s Front Row programme on Wednesday! Griselda and Elly talked to BBC Radio York’s Nathan Moore and explained why art matters in hospitals. Consultant surgeon and great advocate of the arts, Srinivas Chintapatla, gave his personal view of how art in hospitals makes a difference to staff.

Nathan Moore from BBC York sends Front Row an audio postcard from the city, including a visit to the studio of artist Sue Clayton who is painting portraits of York City supporters in the club’s centenary year, and a conversation with the York based rock band Bull.
