Art can be impactful, even therapeutic. The positive effect of making memories with loved ones battling acute or chronic illness, artists and families are working to create an event for the ages. An unveiling of art made by and for families who have battled the unthinkable. A family whose life has been turned upside down by a devastating diagnosis can be transported to a special place where they can create forever moments to be cherished always with the granting of a wish. Join us and help us Make-A-Wish come true!
