The Artful Healing program offers theme-based tours and art making activities at area hospitals, healthcare centers, and at the MFA for children, youth, teens, and their families in a group setting or in patients' rooms. This initiative reinforces the Museum’s mission—to reach beyond its walls to bring art experiences into the community. The MFA currently provides off-site workshops for children, youth, and teens at Children's Hospital Boston, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
Artful Healing is generously supported by Carol and Terry Wall. Additional support for the program at MGH is provided by June N. and John C. Robinson.
