Art MD Healing Art Kits & Healing Arts Outreach
Zachary Coffman delivers Art MD healing art kits to the Monroe Fire Department.
Our Art MD Healing Art Kits are boxes our volunteers pack up to give to Piedmont-Walton Hospital and other agencies who in turn give the kits to children in times of trauma, loss or illness. Our Art MD kits are truly healing arts!
Funded through donations and grants, the boxes contain our original art journals, stuffed animals, crayons, stickers, Play Doh, and when available, original angel paintings by our artists.
You can volunteer to help assemble and pack the boxes by paying attention to our Facebook page (or this page here on our website) where we make announcements for packing days. For example, on June 2, 2019, volunteers packed 300 boxes. Kits have been donated to Piedmont-Walton Hospital, Monroe Fire Department, Team Up Mentoring, a local service for foster children and Joy Community Kitchens (so far!).
Another volunteer opportunity: We also need lots and lots of angel paintings! You can complete these at home or come to one of our Monroe Makers FREE Creative Gatherings on Thursdays from 11:30 - 2:30. We usually do these on thick watercolor paper or other art paper cut into sizes about 4" x 6".
Email Julie and ask to be placed on her email list and she will let you know about future volunteer dates.
You can also donate toward this project HERE. Donations are tax-deductible.

Year-round, we offer our Angel Ornaments for a donation of $15. These clay and glass ornaments are made by volunteers in our pottery studio. Donations for the Angels fund the Art MD Kits.

HEALING ARTS
Our Art MD Healing Art Kits are just a part of our larger initiative to reach our entire community with the beauty and healing nature of art. This includes our special needs neighbors - adults and children - and elderly men and women in assisted living homes. We regularly hold free or low-cost art classes for these groups, serving (at this writing) five different agencies and many individuals.
If you'd like to teach or be a volunteer assistant in these classes, please email Shay.
