My Nonprofit Reviews

I have seen Kids & Art at action in both hospital environment (UCSF) and in their destination workshops. The effect is amazing. The collaboration between professional artists and the kids is healing and positive to both. As an artist volunteer I felt rewarded and inspired by the kids, who despite their medical condition are able to enjoy the creativity, relax and just be kids.

Kids & Art has managed to touch so many with so few hands. The organization pairs kids who are affected by cancer with professional artists and together they create art. Art is healing for both. I am one of the volunteers artists who has worked with many kids affected by cancer. It is well known and documented that art is beneficial to people who are not well. What surprising is the fact that the partnership heals me- the artist- as well. I am inspired by the focus and the determination of the kids, by their ability to create despite their very challenging circumstances. I always return to my studio more energized, focused and grateful.

I am one of the artist volunteers for Kids and Art foundation. I can testify as an artist that working with this organization Is fulfilling and inspiring. The kids who participate seem to forget all their burdens and worries and just for that art making session be just creative kids. The artist are being inspired by the ability of the kids to rise and create despite of life and death problems they have. It's a win-win situation!
