Kids & Art Foundation provides free, ongoing art experiences to support families with children and teens in treatment for cancer and other critical medical conditions. Our understanding that participation in artmaking helps ease the stress, anxiety, and trauma endured by children in treatment — while also allowing for joy, creativity, and self-expression — is at the core of all we do.
By offering unique programs to Care Center partners, we are able to reach additional families in need, as well as support healthcare professionals that may not otherwise have access to the creative arts resources needed to impact and improve the wellbeing of the patients in their care.

Teacher of student with pediatric cancer
We are so very thankful to the Kids and Art Foundation for coming to our school, and helping the class create a beautiful mural. Rachel, Caroline, and Deb were so warm and incredible with the class.
The kids loved the finished mural they all contributed to, and will cherish it hung in the classroom forever! Thank you for all you do in the community to help kids with cancer and those that love them.

Volunteer artist
I am a volunteer artist for Kids & Art. Every time I leave a session I feel energized and inspired by the work and the patient’s positivity and youthful perspective that gives me a new lens on the world and art.
