Discovery Arts brings their Arts Adventures to Rady Children's Hospital San Diego

Discovery Arts is pleased to announce the arrival of their Arts’ Adventure Programs to Rady Children’s Hospital in San Diego, California.
 
San Diego, CA –  When you catch the first sight of Discovery Arts arriving in a children’s hospital unit, you can’t help but smile as they pass by. A parade of brightly colored Cast and Crew members carrying cart loads of art projects, colorful costumes, musical instruments, their Bedside Adventure Kits and Arts Adventures march into the hospital laughing, singing and encouraging all to join in the happy parade. Before you know it children are invited to join them for A Day in the Playroom, and have the opportunity to escape the harsh realities of medical treatment and into a world of imagination.
 
Discovery Arts is pleased to announce that their Arts Adventure Programs are now available at Rady Children’s Hospital - San Diego. Rady Children’s Hospital - San Diego is the seventh hospital in Southern California to partner with Discovery Arts' mission in bringing music, art, dance, costumes, photo keepsakes, trophy's and adventures to children who are patients at the hospital.

Discovery Arts was created in 1993 by a dedicated group of entertainment industry professionals who began volunteering their time and talents to bring music, dance, art and drama to children with cancer, serious blood disorders and life threatening illness while they are in the hospital receiving treatment.

In recognition of the powerful impact of the arts on these children, Discovery Arts was formally incorporated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in 1998 with a mission to expand the delivery of  Arts Adventure Programs to many more children, and hospitals through out the United States. 

All of Discovery Arts programs and services are offered free of charge to the hospitals, patients and their families. We rely on the generosity of individuals, corporations, foundations and fundraisers to survive and grow.
