Our art therapists create safe spaces where children and adults can express complex feelings through colors, shapes, and textures. Working alongside a professional art therapist, patients, siblings, and parents can transform feelings into visible expressions while developing healthy coping skills and regaining a sense of control.
Something as simple as choosing to paint with the color blue can have a profound impact on a person who feels as if their life is spiraling out of control.
Friends of Kids with Cancer funds one art therapist at each of our three hospital partner treatment centers.
Support for our art therapy programming comes in part from Art from the Heart, our annual art auction event. And, with support in part from Blues for Kids and the Scott Lowenbaum Art Fund.
