“Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.”

Mission
Art For The Heart was founded in 2018 by Lucy Valner and Dee Travis. Using art, we hope to provide an escape for patients and their families dealing with cancer, and to aid in the healing process. Our boxes contain different mediums for expression. Anything from colored pencils to paint and brushes. Even adult coloring books. We strive to bring Art For The Heart boxes to your event, hospital or any program that helps facilitate families during these difficult times.
Costs
Nothing! We are able to provide this service at no cost. This gift comes to the community in the hopes of improving the lives of cancer patients and their families. However, we do accept donations.
See who has enjoyed these fun boxes!
Please Donate
Art for the Heart was generously underwritten by a donor to get us off our feet and to create our first 500 boxes. These costs went to the materials we use when we participate in an event, at a hospital, in a chemotherapy lab, or at programs designed to support cancer patients and their families.
By donating to Art for the Heart, this will allow us to continue serving families who will benefit from bringing art into their lives while battling cancer.
Our materials include but are not limited to the following:
Adult coloring books with colored pencils.
Boxes containing water color pencils, water containers, and custom made Art for the Heart books, erasers, pencils, and water color palettes.
In supporting Art for the Heart you will help us bring art to all who wish to participate.
