Our Mission
Sharing the therapeutic power of art
The Healing Arts Project provides thoughtfully designed art kits for care spaces, helping people find calm, focus, and moments of relief during treatment.
How it works
Making room for creativity in places that need comfort most
Get Involved
Help us place more art kits to share in care spaces
Knowing what we know about the healing, relaxing, therapeutic power of the arts—that the simple act of doodling or coloring can help people relax, get out of their heads, and slip into a creative flow where peace and hope can grow—we’re building partnerships with treatment centers, supporters, and artists who believe creativity belongs in healthcare spaces as well as classrooms and art centers.
Your donation will support the purchase of art supplies that we will compile into kits and share with treatment centers, who will make them available to patients. Patients can choose a kit, use it during treatment, and bring it home for continued exploration.
“Creating artwork allows your mind to be in a safe place while it contemplates the tougher issues you are dealing with. One can use the tools of brush, paint, pastels, crayons etc to expose and even for a short time color those issues in a different light.”
― George E. Miller
