The Artist-in-Residence and Art Therapies at Children’s Oakland applied for funding from LIVESTRONG to implement a program proven to support those fighting cancer. And their application has been selected to advance to the final stage (!!!) – a vote by the broader community.
The organizations receiving the most votes within their regions will be awarded funds, materials and training to implement a new program for Oakland Children’s Hospital – The Creative Center’s Hospital Artists in-Residence Program! This program will be offered free of charge to enhance quality of life for cancer patients.
> Vote now!
The deadline to vote is March 23rd at 5pm CST
I hope people will vote for it–and then vote again, like we do in Chicago! I’ve just finished a post that incorporated significant research on art therapy and cancer, and the results for pediatric cancer patients were excellent (come take a look at
“‘Art Is A Form Of Power:’ Art Therapy and Cancer” at http://wp.me/p22afJ-Nq.) The studies are compelling enough to encourage everyoone to vote!
I loved reading your post Candida!
If I ever have the opportunity to write a research article I’ll strive to be more creative than average in my title. Art therapy is already lacking in research, do we need to steer people away from reading the actual papers because give everything away in the title?
Well, thank goodness you delved into those articles anyway because your mini-lit review is a great resource :) I’ll be sure to share your post on my social networking profiles.
Thank you for stopping by!
