What is the #getcreative campaign?

Starting on July 27th, Arts For Life supporters, near and far, are coming together to creatively raise funds for A THOUSAND art and music lessons at patients’ bedsides and in clinic waiting rooms in 2018. We'll keep the campaign going until we reach our goal!

YOU can share with the world how creativity influences your daily life, so that others will be inspired to share and give, too! Let's #GETCREATIVE and raise $21,000!

How to join the campaign

1. Choose a goal

How many lessons do you want to sponsor?

Here’s a suggestion: we teach, on average, 70 lessons each day across NC.
Maybe your goal is to sponsor a whole day of art lessons? (We did the math: that’s $1,470!).

Or maybe however many years old you are?
That’s how many lessons you want to get sponsored. (Take your age, multiply it by $21, and you’ll get your goal!)

Try this on for size: what’s your lucky number?
A special date? Pick a number, any number! Every dollar makes a difference.

2. Set up your page

Sign up to be a fundraiser and you will get your own page. Set your goal and customize your page to represent your creative style.

"In the mornings, my main priority was when is the art table gonna be open? what are they gonna do today? which teacher was gonna come in and take turns to do art with me? Arts For Life made me feel like a kid. It took away the pain, the worries of the treatments and being scared..."
