Mission

Kids & Art uses the power of the arts and creativity to mitigate stress, anxiety, and trauma induced from the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric cancer and other critical medical conditions. Kids & Art provides families dealing with critical illnesses opportunities to engage in creative arts and wellness, effective in distracting children from adverse effects associated with treatment. Our programs focus on giving agency and control in the moment, community building and connection, and helping families feel less isolated, anxious, and fearful. Art is the secret sauce that enables us to make a difference in the lives of the families we work with.
