Bringing Music, Art, Dance and Drama
to children with cancer and life threatening illness
While they are in the hospital receiving treatment
Discovery Arts Spokesperson, Cathy Rigby
Discovery Arts is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that brings the healing power of the arts to children with cancer, serious blood disorders and life threatening illness while they are in the hospital receiving treatment. Our “Arts Adventures” bring a tremendous amount of joy to the children and their families.
These very sick children all share one wish.... "to be normal". Anything we can do to make their journey a little easier or a little brighter is our greatest wish. We are honored to serve these wonderful children and their families each and every week and all year long.
Discovery Arts now serves more than 3,500 children and their families each year.
All of our programs and services are offered free of charge to the hospitals, patients and their families. We rely completely on the generosity of individuals, corporations and foundations to fund our programs and allow us to reach more children.
We currently have programs at Mattel Children's Hospital at UCLA, Miller Children's Hospital, Jonathan Jaques Children's Cancer Center at Millers, Children's Hospital of Orange County, CHOC at Mission, Fountain Valley Regional Medical Center & St. John's Children's Hospital in Springfield, Missouri.

The Children of Discovery Arts
Children with cancer and life threatening illness are robbed of their childhood. School and extracurricular activities such as dance, music and art are severely curtailed or suspended: interaction with other children decreases significantly; physical activity is limited, at best; and the demands of critical illness consume
their lives. The emotional trauma they experience is horrific and the need for relief is enormous.
Our "Arts Adventures" bring smiles, laughter, comfort and hope to these often forgotten children.
Discovery Arts helps these children step outside the confines of their illness and into the world of creativity and imagination. Children with cancer have enormous emotional needs, they need a safe place to express their feelings, they need relief from the pain and chaos of critical treatments and they desperately need creativity, fun and as much normalcy as possible.
