Childhood Cancer Heroes Spring Into Art

The creativity continued at the March Heroes Art Session. Artists eagerly set up their stations, ready for the childhood cancer heroes to add their artistic flair. Jessica was back with her metal pouring. Ian revved up the kids with a graffiti-inspired piece. Dylan returned with a large canvas the kids filled with colors and their imagination.

You can own one of these amazing art pieces created at a Heroes Art Session. We will auction off the art at The Heroes Art Ball on May 1, 2026. You can bid to win an artist’s piece in our online auction or at the live auction at the Heroes Art Ball. If you can’t attend, you can participate from home. The online silent auction is open to anyone anywhere.

We tried to bring in Spring’s warm weather by serving Kona Shaved Ice to everyone. Oh well, maybe for the April Heroes Art Session.

About Heroes Art Session With Childhood Cancer Heroes And Their Families

Our Heroes Art Sessions provide a supportive environment in which childhood cancer heroes and their siblings can make art and build community with other hero families. At the sessions, you feel a collective sense of healing by creating and being together. We are grateful to Visual Arts Center for giving us the space for an open studio. And to our donors who allow the Heroes Art Sessions to happen at no cost to our families and to supply the artists with their materials.
