A Thoughtful and Generous Gift From Corrine!
For her 4th birthday, Corrine wanted to share her love of art with other kids in need and asked her friends and family for donations of art supplies instead of presents for herself. Corinne’s supply drive was a huge success and last week she delivered a box filled with 129 supplies and craft kits for #ArtWorksKids. We are inspired and grateful for her generosity.

Exhibition at Johnson and Johnson
Yesterday, we visited the ArtWorks Express Yourself Then & Now exhibition, at Johnson & Johnson in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Over 25 Young Artist adorned the walls of the world headquarters building and we were honored that our Young Artists’ pieces were able to be a part of each individual’s day as they pass by.
The Art of Listening!
We recently hosted an “ear opening” seminar at Mount Sinai Kravis Children’s Hospital led by Communications and Listening Coach, Sandra Bodin-Lerner. We learned how difficult it can be to truly be a good listener. Sandra gave the gathered group of Child Life Specialists many great tools to improve their listening and even walked us through a snowflake making craft. We ended up creating all different snowflakes from the very same orated instructions! We all know that no two snowflakes are alike, but when listening, it is important to accurately “hear” what someone is really saying!
Make A Difference With Your Gift
The spirit of giving is all around us, and we humbly ask you to consider ArtWorks in your charitable giving this year. Thank you for giving creative expression to the Young Artists whom we are privileged to serve. #LetArtHeal
Thank You ZiGang!
Young Artist, ZiGang, donated his laser painting piece to ArtWorks’ Annual Cocktail Benefit. His piece raised $650 at our event that will go towards supporting future ArtWorks programming! Thank you to ZiGang and all of our Young Artists who donate their pieces back to ArtWorks so that we can continue to help others heal through the arts!
