Art Doctors’ Brand New Dispensing Trolley
We got our hands on an ex-NHS Bristol Maid dispensing trolley from a hospice down in London and the very wonderful Aimee Grundell pimped it for us, adding some brilliant off-road bright yellow wheels, signage and a flashing red light, because you never know when an ART EMERGENCY might occur.
We’re now a bit full of ourselves and have given it trial runs at the Dewsbury Mash-up for WOVEN festival and at the Bradford Summer Social organised by the Cultural Voice Forum. Patients received their prescriptions – for ‘textile-themed fun’ and ‘salve for creative blocks’ respectively – in test tubes, with strict instructions not to open them until they were needed.
Feedback has been incredibly positive, so we’re now in the process of putting together a touring pack for festivals across the UK and beyond who might be interested in booking us. Let us know if that’s you… or if you have any good suggestions for festivals we should contact!
