Project Arts in Motion (AIM)

If your child is admitted to the pediatric oncology unit at Providence Children’s Hospital, you can expect that he or she will receive advanced cancer treatment, as well as a healing dose of art.

If your child is admitted to the pediatric oncology unit at Providence Children’s Hospital, you can expect that he or she will receive advanced cancer treatment, as well as a healing dose of art. Four afternoons a week, artists from an organization called Creative Kids invite children with cancer into the hospital’s art and digital media studios.

Together, they work on painting and printmaking projects, plus graphic-design pieces. If your child is in isolation, or is not well enough to leave his or her room, an artist can make a bedside visit. The purpose of this program, called Project AIM (Arts in Motion), is to incorporate art therapy into children’s traditional treatment regimens, to help them navigate the often-frightening journey through cancer.
