Arts For Life helps people in four children’s hospitals and communities across North Carolina.

Executive Director’s Letter In this report, you’ll read powerful stories of creativity, yes, but also resilience and hope. That’s the common thread in what we do - hope. To say yes to art, to music, to poetry, is to say yes to possibility of something good; something healing and hopeful. But ask anyone in the Arts For Life world what having access to really top-notch art projects, materials, and teachers means to them, and you just might get a different answer every time. You might hear that Arts For Life means happiness, or healing, or love. To a parent, it might mean a moment’s respite, knowing their child is being nurtured and cared for. It might mean a chance to make a “mom friend,” like Erika and Hannah, who you’ll read about. For our kids, it might just mean a little bit - or a lot - of fun in an otherwise not-so-fun circumstance, or laughter in an otherwise quiet place. Ask a doctor or social worker, and it might mean the pride that shows on their patients’ faces, as they share the artwork they’ve created that day or given as a gift.

The art table is where kids come to be kids, regardless of their diagnosis, prognosis, or background. They come together to create and connect. Amy Fisher, Child Life Specialist at Mission Children’s Hospital’s Zeis Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Clinic
First: the art table; then: the world.
There are some days when the Art Table at the Mission Children’s Hospital Reuter Outpatient Center is so popular that it seems to have a magnetic pull, drawing in every child in sight. On a recent Monday afternoon, Program Coordinator Anna Long found herself at the center of such a force. Anna, who loves the energy and creativity that buzzes through a busy art table, nevertheless
Jumping into action, Mimi pulled 11-year-old Kylie aside while Anna engaged a group of much younger students at the other table. In her spare hour, Mimi guided Kylie through a complex origami project. When they were finished, Kylie had made an amazing origami cube, and it was time for Mimi to go.
Amazed with Kylie’s box, and mesmerized by the fleeting magic of Mimi’s surprise visit, Kylie’s sister, Mary, and a few other children at the table asked to make an origami box, too. But there was no way, with all the kids at the table (and more streaming in for their appointments) that Anna would be able to guide the group through such a complex project. That’s when Kylie stepped in. With the patience and maturity of a budding Arts For Life teacher, Kylie guided Mary and the others through every step of
the process of making their own origami cubes. At Arts For Life, we often think of our Art Tables as microcosms of the real world, where we strive to promote our boldest vision: a vision of inclusion, connection, positive action, and mutual support. It’s leaders like Anna, volunteers like Mimi, and students like Kylie – all of them together, seeking to pay it forward – that make this vision a reality at the art table. First: the art table; then: the world.

sighed in relief when longtime Arts For Life Teaching Volunteer, Mimi Shackelford, showed up at the table unexpectedly. Mimi had an hour to spare between personal appointments, so she dropped by on her day off to see if she could help.

Duke Children’s Hospital & Health Center
Sarah and Ridge are friends. In fact, they are best friends, and they met at the art table in the Valvano Day Hospital at Duke Children’s Hospital. Despite the difference in their ages (Sarah is 12 and Ridge is 3), they love spending all their time together at the art table. Hannah, Ridge’s mother, says, “Ridge loves going to Duke because of the FUN things to do that keep him busy while he is there. Ridge always talks about the art table where he gets to do fun crafts and activities while he waits for treatment and while his treatment runs. He loves doing art projects that the teachers have tailored toward his interests and bringing them home to share with our family! He tells EVERYONE about them. The art table has allowed Ridge to create lasting friendships with several kids and for me (his mom) to talk with other mothers going through the same journey as us.” Ridge has been coming to Duke since he was diagnosed with a brain tumor on September 28, 2015, which makes him no stranger to the art table. So, when Sarah took a seat at the art table, Ridge just had to know who this new friend was.

Sarah’s mother, Erika, reflects on the beginning of the new friendship between her daughter and Ridge. “I just remember slowly becoming aware of this tiny little boy that followed my Sarah around sometimes. I remember how their faces lit up whenever they saw each other, how he always called her ‘Say-rah.’ I remember feeling myself relax each time I saw his and his mom’s faces, feeling my clenched jaw change into a smile. That friendship started at the art table. They giggled and laughed over watercolor paints and construction paper.”
Not only were the kids becoming friends, but their moms were as well. Erika says, “His mom and I started talking while they created, talking about three-year-olds and fire trucks and Paw Patrol, talking about scans and tumor pathology and chemo meds, seeing our own fears reflected in each other’s eyes. Because no matter how much I resisted it, I still was a #cancermom, and the only people who can truly understand how that feels are other #cancermoms.” Hannah also appreciates how they can relate to each other. “As Ridge’s mom, I love that he created this friendship, and the friendship I have created with Erika, Sarah’s mom, is like no other. We love talking about everyday things and also about how we handle tough situations along our journeys.” Erika talks about how the friends she and Sarah have made on their journey have meant so much to them. “The art table gave us those friends and we are so grateful.”

2016 saw the Charlotte chapter’s first Artist Fellowship, made possible by the Mary Duke Biddle Foundation. Fred Sexton, a Charlotte-based digital artist, was selected to bring his passion and expertise of digital painting to children and families in the hospital. Fred jumped right into his Artist Fellow role, providing bedside sessions to patients all over the hospital. Using an iPad and a few kid-tested, artist-approved apps, Fred’s digital painting technique combines the appeal of technology with creativity and accessibility. This made Fred and his digital painting a popular choice with lots of patients and families.
Madi Bergen, Art Instructor for the Enrichment Center (and past Arts For Life intern!), says, “It was such a valuable experience for my students to learn about Arts For Life and to make connections with another organization that uses art as a tool for communication and healing. Establishing a relationship like this only strengthens our local arts community, and in this case, it resulted in a beautiful collaborative piece that our city will treasure for years to come.”
One of the strongest connections he made during his Fellowship was with 18-year-old Joe. A patient with a chronic illness, Joe is a regular at the hospital and is an eager participant of Arts For Life’s programs. Joe connected instantly with the digital painting technique, and Fred met with him often throughout his Fellowship. In addition to making a series of digital paintings, Joe and Fred also worked together to create a t-shirt design that Joe sold to raise money and awareness for his illness. As they created together and talked together, Joe and Fred grew a special friendship and a deep bond. Upon reflection of his connection with Joe, Fred says, “Joe is a free spirit, and I’m lucky to have met him. It warms my heart every time I see him, and I love painting with him and hanging out.” For Joe, the hospital is a very familiar place. But he believes that his time spent painting and talking with Fred had a positive impact on his hospital experience. “He never took our friendship for granted,” Joe said. “He really made a difference in my time at the hospital.”
“While medical and nursing staff take care of and strive to heal patients’ bodies, Arts For Life allows patients to explore their emotions and thereby heal their minds and souls.” Nicole Queatham, Child Life Specialist in Outpatient Hematology/Oncology and Neuro-Oncology Clinic, Duke Children’s Hospital & Health Center

This collaborative canvas was an effort to bridge two organizations in the Winston-Salem community who value art as an essential part of expression, empowerment, and healing. Patients and families of Arts For Life and students at The Enrichment Center, an arts-based day program for adults with disabilities, worked together to create a mixed-media quilt, using many different techniques on paper as well as indigo-dyed shibori fabric. This quilt demonstrates the way art can bring people together to work toward common interests and goals, and is a powerful reminder of the importance of fostering community.
Volunteer + Internship Program: Sydney Jones Duke Children’s Hospital & Health Center
Sydney Jones, an NC State University student, joined the Arts For Life team as an intern after learning about the opportunity from her professor in the Art & Design Department.
Her involvement with Dance Marathon at NC State inspired Sydney to pursue an Arts For Life internship because she would be teaching art to kids who had benefitted from the Children’s Miracle Network fundraiser to Duke Children’s Hospital & Health Center. Over the course of her internship, Sydney spent hundreds of hours teaching art to kids staying on the hospital’s inpatient units and those waiting – sometimes long hours – for outpatient treatment in Duke’s Valvano Day Hospital. Sydney was inspired to use her own art and design skills in order to create something

that could bring some color into the hospital. “Working at the hospital with the kids I am supporting through Dance Marathon has changed my entire understanding of why I do what I do,” says Sydney. “It has brought a whole new meaning to our Dance Marathon motto: For The Kids. Through my involvement with Arts For Life and Dance Marathon at NC State - both of which benefit kids at Duke Children’s Hospital - I was ignited to make a change to the existing clinical healthcare environment. I believe it is time to give hospitalized children a chance to be themselves. With the Japanese paper marbling technique Suminagshi, I’ve created a patterned product collection of paper, home, and accessory goods that is aimed at creating a positive atmosphere for the physical and mental healing and wellbeing of kids at children’s hospitals. With every product sold, 25% of the proceeds will be donated back to Duke Children’s Hospital. It is all For The Kids, with the hope of one day changing the world of children’s healthcare.”

“This experience had a bigger impact on me than I could have imagined. It strengthened my love for art, taught me the power of positivity, tested me in ways I never thought possible and made me appreciate each day I was given and each person that I came in contact with.

Planting Seeds at SEED20 Arts For Life was one of 20 nonprofits and social entrepreneurs in the 2016 class of SEED20, a nonprofit pitch competition presented by Social Venture Partners Charlotte. Throughout the spring, Executive Director Rachel Zink developed a 3-minute pitch, and delivered it on stage at the Knight Theatre to a crowd of 800 Charlotteans. The experience led to meeting lots of new friends and supporters, and garnered plenty of media coverage, from Charlotte Agenda, the Charlotte Observer, and FOX 46 TV. You can see the pitch video online at seed20.org

November is National Arts in Healthcare Month, and we celebrated in all four of our partner hospitals with an initiative we call Rx: ART, because we believe that a daily dose of creativity has the power to change the healthcare experience. Our teaching teams set up in hospital lobbies, cafeterias, and conference rooms to share the benefits of arts in healthcare with a wide range of hospital employees. Visitors to our Rx: ART kiosk walked away with a “prescription bag” filled with info about arts in healthcare and Arts For Life, plus a mini mandala art project with colored pencils. We also gave great tips on how to incorporate creative activities into your daily life - no special materials or art background necessary! — such as: • Take a photo walk: spend a few minutes in nature and document your surroundings. • Color along to music: play your favorite calming or uplifting songs and let the music be your guide as you color shapes, lines, and patterns. • Write a letter: express your gratitude to someone you’re thankful for!
