Arts For Life

Within our partner hospitals, Arts For Life provides individual inpatient bedside studios, drop-in and group sessions at clinic waiting room art tables, creative projects at patient- and family-centered special events as well as facilitating artmaking with support groups. Additionally, Arts For Lifes Heartbeat Sessions invite pediatric patients to choose or write a song to be set to the rhythm of their heartbeat, which is recorded with a digital stethoscope and then performed through a partnership with local professional musicians.

When families are not getting treated in one of our partner hospitals, are at home, or are unable to have visitors, Arts For Life offers asynchronous creative programs to keep patients active and engaged in the arts. Online, patients have 24/7 access to Arts For Life Anywhere, our online hub of project resources. Our Artivity art kits are all-inclusive and self-contained projects created and developed especially for our hospital communities.
