Review for The Art of Elysium, Los Angeles, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

To have a direct affect on a child in need, to see a smile grow into hysterical laughter from a child in pain, to inspire creativity and imagination from a hospital bed- there is no greater (or easier) contribution to one's society.

Unfortunately hospitals offer little entertainment for their patients, and the numbing boredom can truly take a toll on someone so young and impressionable. As performers and artists we seek for an audience who appreciates our work, our time, and our commitment to a craft. Art of Elysium is the perfect pairing between the artists who yearn to create and inspire and the children who truly need it most.

However it doesn't stop there. Every day I find myself excited and personally inspired by the amazing staff at Art of Elysium. I consider each one as part of my family. The organization can't survive without it's volunteers, and those volunteers wouldn't have access without the incomparable group that leads.

I urge everyone to get in and experience the magic for yourself, for once you enter a child's life, both will forever be changed.
