Facilitating Resilience Through Creative Healing
The Healing HeARTS program provides specialized creative resources to pediatric patients, transforming the hospital experience from one of isolation to one of expression and empowerment.
Clinical-Grade Creative Resources
To ensure the safety and wellbeing of every patient, we provide curated kits of professional-grade, non-toxic materials. These kits serve as a vital therapeutic outlet, allowing children to process their medical journey and reclaim a sense of agency during treatment.
Our Clinical Partners
Make an Artist Foundation collaborates with leading healthcare institutions to integrate creative expression into pediatric care. We are proud to support the missions of Shriners Children's, Children's Mercy, and Peyton Manning Children's Hospital.
Support a Child's Path to Healing
Your contribution delivers more than just supplies; it provides a child with a tool for self-advocacy and emotional processing. Invest in the Healing HeARTS program and help us bring the power of art to every bedside.
Each curated kit features professional-grade, non-toxic materials, including sketchbooks, air-dry clay, and artist-quality pastels, specifically selected to provide a safe and versatile therapeutic outlet for pediatric patients.
