Project Description

With support from the California Art Council, Kids & Art Foundation will provide supportive, hands-on, creative art experiences directly to pediatric cancer patients and families in-person and online, as well as through hospitals and treatment centers and @home.

Organization Summary

Our programs provide opportunities for connection, enrichment, self-expression, and community for pediatric cancer patients and their families at no cost. Integral to our program design are professional artists, offering a unique, collaborative, and inspiring experience of creative engagement for the children. Current programs:

Amaeyzing ArtKits: all-in-one art experiences blend art/wellness projects containing materials, written instructions, and QR codes for pre-recorded instruction videos. Projects are about process, encouraging families to explore materials, ideas, and techniques, create together, and express themselves in meaningful ways. We are able to support thousands of pediatric patients through art in partnership with child life and health care providers. ArtKits are distributed remotely at 21 hospital partners and at-home.
Online Art Experiences: virtual art workshops that enable pediatric patients and their siblings to connect and create with each other. Diverse artists and creative partners lead projects such as heart sculptures, basket weaving, digital storytelling, artmaking for exhibitions, nature art, ink painting, plush toy design, portrait quilts, and printmaking.
Customized Hospice and Bereavement Workshops: professional artists are paired with families to create a legacy piece of artwork as requested.
