Mission
Arts For Life is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting pediatric patients and families through 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.
-
In 2025, Arts For Life staff and volunteers brought 18,738 visual art, music, and creative writing experiences to 13,927 pediatric patients, their siblings, and family members in three childrens hospitals and communities across North Carolina. Arts For Lifes offerings include in-person art and music programs as well as remote/asynchronous creative opportunities.
Expenses $428,447 · Revenue $122,300
-
Within our partner hospitals, Arts For Life provides individual inpatient bedside studios, drop-in and group sessions at clinic waiting room art tables, creative projects at patient- and family-centered special events as well as facilitating artmaking with support groups.
-
When families are not getting treated in one of our partner hospitals, are at home, or are unable to have visitors, Arts For Life offers asynchronous creative programs to keep patients active and engaged in the arts. Online, patients have 24/7 access to Arts For Life Anywhere, our online hub of project resources. Additionally, our Artivity art kits are all-inclusive and self-contained projects created and developed especially for our hospital communities.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
