This class helped me get out of my constant thoughts on my diagnosis and really helped me to relax and be in the moment. Please have more of these. It was enjoyable.

OUR MISSION
We are currently a pilot program operating through Hoag Hospital's Cancer Center in California. Individuals who have experienced cancer in the last 2 years are invited and encouraged to view our art videos and receive a personal art kit.
Our feedback has been very positive and affirmative.
Individuals who engage in an "Artistic Healing" experience have found purpose, courage and healing in the power of Art.
Our team's goal is to grow an awareness of the healing of art on a national and professional level.
We hope that you will join our journey and find your own personal healing.

When I came here today to do this, I never for one minute thought it was gonna, kinda translate to anything who I am or what I do...and here it is - MY LIFE!

Art Instructor
I grew up believing and saying, I'm not artistic, out of fear of not being good enough, Art is not about pleasing anyone, it's about self expression, fun and joy.
