Amaeyzing ArtKits @Hospitals
Amaeyzing ArtKits are a collection of portable art projects designed to offer independent art experiences to pediatric patients as creative arts support during treatment. Suitable for children ages 4 and up, each ArtKit contains all information and supplies needed to engage in the art project experience, including access to a pre-recorded instructional video.
Gift of ArtKits Program Grant
Kids & Art Foundation provides monthly deliveries of Amaeyzing ArtKits to a select number of hospitals nationwide through our Gift of ArtKits program. To be considered, hospitals must submit a program grant application.
- Amaeyzing ArtKits are for pediatric cancer patients and children with other critical medical conditions. A portion of the ArtKits awarded to your hospital can be provided for bone marrow transplant (BMT) patients.
- Gift of ArtKits award recipients may receive up to 30 ArtKits per month, free of charge.
- Hospitals will be notified about award status within 30 days of application submission.
- Gift of ArtKits awards provide monthly ArtKit deliveries for the calendar year of the application.
- Gift of ArtKits award recipients will be required to provide brief program feedback and at least 3 program photos during program review cycles, typically after 6 months of participation.
- Additional Amaeyzing ArtKits can be made available at a reduced facility rate.

My child loves art and your kits have really made her smile! She received the kit in the hospital.

Unfortunately we are in the hospital again but when Child Life walked in with one of your art kits it brightened our whole day! Here he is today getting ready to do another one of your projects. Thank you so much, the Child Life team truly loves your boxes and passes them out every time!

The ArtKits are providing opportunities for enjoyable activities while the kids are receiving chemotherapy infusions or blood transfusions and we are also encouraging kids and teens to focus on their assessment on how they are perceiving pain or discomfort both prior to and following their participation in the art activities. This is so empowering and promoting mastery over circumstances that can be seen as uncomfortable, painful, or difficult."
