Gilda’s Club Chicago partners with the Caring Arts Foundation each month to bring creative expression activities to our members. Designed as an open arts studio, Caring Arts provides all the supplies and supportive instruction you need to create at your own pace and leave with a finished piece of art. Each session features a new theme and artistic medium. Art has the power to heal. Research shows that engaging in creative expression can boost self-esteem, reduce stress, and improve both mental and physical health for people facing cancer.

The Caring Arts Foundation is a Chicago-based non profit dedicated to supporting individuals and families affected by cancer through music, fine art, journaling, photography, and other creative disciplines.
