Being a part of the ArtCare team means having the opportunity to participate in a variety of different assignments. Working jointly with patients and staff in making wall hangings and murals for individual Units. Wheeling our 'ArtCarts' to different Units and waiting rooms throughout the hospital inviting patients to take part in painting, drawing, oragami or card making. If you can carry on a friendly conversation, draw a stick figure, read a story, or play and enjoy music, you are an artist. Whether you are a professional or amateur artist, singer or performer, a high school student, pre-med, medical, or other college student, or a community volunteer without any particular artistic skill.
All volunteers are equally capable of enriching patients' lives.
Anyone can find a comfortable place within a hospital arts program. We need creative people to share their talents with us. We invite them to use their talents in order to help the healing process and lift the spirits of others. Most of all, we need people who can encourage others to express their own creative abilities - the creative spark that exists within everyone.
