 Arts for Healing uses the healing power of art

to support people coping with cancer.

In our free, painting support groups cancer patients create wild and wonderful art while they share a lifeline of camaraderie and caring with each other.

  

Our art exhibits and public sculptures express powerful messages of encouragement and hope from (and to!) people touched by cancer.

  

Recent studies show that programs like these improve physical and mental health for cancer patients. But we knew that - we see it happen!.

 

Therapy dog, Rincon, saves the day!

He's dancing for donations.

Rincon, therapy dog

   

Arts for Healing gives strength and resilience to people coping with cancer.

  

But our grant for our free Healing through Painting support groups disappeared due to the economy. Always ready to serve, our therapy dog Rincon is wagging his tail, tapping his toes, and dancing for donations!

LETTY'S STORY

A dental hygienist by day, confined to the tiny, careful, and regimented tasks she accomplished in people’s mouths, Letty became a painting superhero once a week in our painting class. No stroke was too bold, no canvas too tall, no emotion too deep for Letty. Her super power was Expressing Herself without Holding Back. Click Letty's painting to read her story!

THE HEART OF HEALING       Public Sculpture Project

   

"Life's Voyage," cancer empowerment sculpture

Sculpture #1: "Life's Voyage"

         

The Heart of Healing public sculptures project has completed two cancer empowerment sculptures.

"I wish Arts for Healing had been here twenty years ago for my mother. She went through cancer treatment feeling isolated. If she had been able to visit the Objects page of this website to see the sculpture objects and read the vignettes of empowerment told by the objects' donors, she would have felt less alone."        

   --Martia Nelson, Director
