APT artist Mali Morris wrote this in May 2020 as an email to all at the studios, in fond memory of three painter friends.

In the future… when this is all over… we’ll look back and, what?
We will perhaps be amazed at the suddenness of the crash. One minute we were going along just nicely or at least going along; everything in its place or at least predictable; the landscape of our ambitions and struggles familiar, mapped, alive. And the next, silence as one by one the lights went out.

To celebrate the determination and sacrifices of NHS staff, APT artists are working with the Lewisham and Greenwich Trust on a project to create artworks for the University Hospital Lewisham and the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Greenwich. Hearten will initially be an online exhibition but will then be shown in both the QEH and UHL when circumstances allow.
