Arts For Life is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting people facing serious illnesses. By providing educational art programs,
we enrich patients’ lives, nurture their minds and spirits, and encourage positive healthcare experiences for children and their families. Arts For Life helps children all day everyday in four cities across North Carolina.
AFL’s staff members and volunteers teach the arts to patients for over 300 hours each week. We work with more than 4,500 patients annually.
Our visual art, creative writing, and music programs decrease patient stress and anxiety, keep patients active and engaged, and help families cope with the realities of illness.
