Kids & Art is a 501(c)3 California nonprofit organization supporting pediatric patients with cancer and other critical medical conditions, their siblings, families, and support teams using the power of art and creativity.
Kids & Art art programs are offered directly to patient families, as well as through care centers. We work with professional artists to design our art experience, tailoring all projects and workshops to the unique needs and circumstances of children facing serious illness.
Amaeyzing ArtKits @Home
Our Amaeyzing ArtKits @Home subscription program sends two independent art experiences each month to your home for your child to use wherever and whenever they need creative arts support. Each ArtKit contains all supplies needed and access to a pre-recorded instructional video.
Online Art Experiences
Our Online Art Experiences are led by professional artists who guide the participants in creative projects inspired by their own style. Advance signups are required, and all materials needed for art making are mailed to participants ahead of time.
Destination Workshops
Our Destination Workshops allow participants to create in-person in inspiring settings with professional artists, other patients, survivors and siblings. From glass art and painting to working the clay wheel and embroidery, there will be plenty of opportunities for kids to explore their artsy side.
Amaeyzing ArtKits @Care Centers
Our Patient ArtKits are a collection of art projects designed to offer independent art experiences as creative arts support during treatment. Each ArtKit contains all information and supplies needed and access to a pre-recorded instructional video. Monthly delivery of Patient ArtKits to care centers is available to recipients of the Gift of ArtKits Program Grant.
