关于我们
MISSION
Arts For Life is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting pediatric patients and families through accessible arts education and engagement. By providing educational arts programs, we enrich patients’ lives, nurture their minds and spirits, and encourage positive healthcare experiences for children and their families.
VALUES
Creativity | Learning | Compassion | Collaboration | Inclusion
PROGRAMMING
We believe the arts are for everyone. We offer fully equipped, instructor-led art stations, bedside studios for those receiving inpatient care, synchronous virtual instruction, asynchronous virtual lessons, and fully resourced art kits for independent creations. These in-person and remote programs make the joys and benefits of creation accessible to pediatric patients and their communities by offering the arts as a tool to process, document, and honor their medical journeys. We know the arts empower individuals to share their experiences and to advocate for what they believe in. The skills we help young people develop equip them not only as artists, musicians, and storytellers, but also as leaders and changemakers.

Thank you so much to the team at Culture at Premier for including us in your Annual Values Celebration! The watercolor kits you helped assemble will inspire courage through creativity for the pediatric patients and families we sere. ?? ?? ?? Our Charlotte Chapter at Atrium Health Levine Children's is so fortunate to be supported by local organizations like you!
Premier’s emphasis and focus on people shines extra bright during this week as employees across the nation take time to serve and give back to their communities. Many employees gathered today to volunteer as part of our annual Values celebration. Employees and leaders filled superhero kits with capes, crayons and encouraging notes for children who are undergoing treatment in our members hospitals. Others assembled hot cocoa jars to support SHARE Charlotte and the Charlotte Angels which is a foster care non-profit that helps to empower children and build sustainable foster homes. Employees also supported Arts For Life , a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting pediatric patients and families through arts education and engagement by assembling watercolor packets. Samaritan's Feet International welcomed our Charlotte employees for an off-site volunteer opportunity as well. This is just a glimpse into the numerous Premier Give Back events happening not only around Charlotte but around the country. We're excited to share more about this in the coming weeks. A big thank you to everyone who participated and took the time to give in this season of generosity and celebration!
