With support from the California Arts Council Medical Clown Project will partially restore its 2021 artists salary contracts that have been reduced more than 50% since March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
We bring our artists to several facilities on multiple days weekly. Each clown service is between 1-4 hours. Over 80% of the populations we serve are elder and memory care units, and/or communities. Other populations include patients and staff from pediatrics, ICU’s, emergency departments, and disaster relief zones. The Medical Clown Project’s annual impact is built from 12,000 direct interactions and interventions reaching patients, residents, family members, medical staff, and disaster victims.
