The Art of Elysium

About

The Art of Elysium is dedicated to enriching the lives of artists and critically ill children. The organization believes that there is a powerful and mutual exchange of hope and appreciation that occurs when artists share their time and talent with children battling serious medical conditions.

  • Help children cope with the difficult emotional challenges of illness and hospitalization
  • Promote opportunities for growth and development
  • Encourage socialization
  • Provide exposure to various artistic skills and disciplines

The organization's programs for hospitalized youth include Fine Arts, Fashion Design, Music, Media/Theater Arts and Arts-Based Self-Esteem Programs.
