About us.

Art Way Forward, a 501(c)(3) certified non-profit, strives to instill a support system in healthcare beyond just medicine, extending to brightening patients’ days. We endeavor to cultivate a community rooted in kindness while also advocating for health and wellness. We host events in hospitals and senior centers in and around Massachusetts where we make art with hospital patients, using art as a therapeutic in a time of hardship. Dedicated volunteers lead activities, including painting, origami card-making, bracelet making, sculpting, and more to bring color and joy to their lives. We also hold community-wide events where people unite to make art for patients, uniting us into a coherent whole. On the whole, Art Way Forward strives to bless bleakness with color, transforming devastation into something a little more beautiful.
