About Discovery Arts Programs
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 agency in 1998 with a mission to expand the delivery of our “Arts Adventures” to many more children in many more
hospitals. All of our programs and services are offered free of charge to the hospitals, patients and their families.
We began by serving children in a small 14 bed unit at Jonathan Jaques Children’s Cancer Center at Millers. We are now honored to serve more than 3500 children and their families each year, doing 9 programs in 6 southern California hospitals. We are pleased to announce our first step out of California and into the nation with our new program at Mercy Children's Hospital Springfield, MO.

We rely completely on the generosity of individuals, corporations and foundations to fund our programs
and allow us to reach more children.
