My son, Daniel, has been involved in Artworks since he was about 5 years, which was shortly after he was diagnosed with leukemia. He is 12 years old now and has participated in several "Express Yourself" events for Artworks. Daniel's paintings and artwork helped him deal with many different feelings and emotions, including fear, pain, loss and joy that he experienced both during and after treatment. He also thoroughly enjoys seeing other people's works of art and performances at these events

ArtWorks continues to be a vital component of the Child Life Department at our hospital. The services provided by this foundation have positively impacted the lives of many of our pediatric patients and families by providing various means of coping with illness and hospitalization centered around the arts. Not only does ArtWorks offer opportunities for children to express themselves with art projects, but the foundation also supports our hospital by providing a mobile art cart filled with creative fun for our intensive care unit, bulletin boards to display artwork and opportunities for patients' art abilities to be recognized in art shows and/or honored as artists of the month. This foundation is also currently working on funding an artist-in-residency program which will allow a paid staff person to work with our children to engage patients in the creative process.

Artworks is an incredible organization. As someone who has benefited directly from their programs when I was a patient 7 years ago, I can attest to how meaningful their work is. I am truly grateful for the opportunity for artistic expression that they provide to kids who are fighting the toughest battles of their lives. The highlight of my experience with Artworks was the "Express Yourself" event in which I was able to perform a song with my brother that we had been practicing for months. But in addition to the performances and exhibits that Artworks provides for the kids it has worked with, Artworks also provides valuable resources and supplies to hospitals so they can give their pediatric patients greater access to the benefits of art/music therapy. An amazing organization doing great work. I'm glad I have been able to stay involved on a personal level with Artworks and the people behind it.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
Extremely giving. Deeply dedicated to the mission of the organization and generous in time and spirit.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Reach out to a greater number of hospitals around the country, helping to strengthen art/music therapy programs for very sick kids, and host more events for kids to perform and display their art. The world needs more "Artworks".
