O U R M I S S I O N
August's Artists is focused on serving pediatric healthcare patients and their families by providing consistent access to window crayons, commemorating their artwork as a way to celebrate some of the most formative and impactful moments in life, and meaningful advocacy for family-centered, whole-person care.
HOW IT STARTED
“August's Artists was inspired by a simple activity during a challenging healthcare experience: coloring on the hospital room door with window crayons during my son’s cancer diagnosis and treatment. I started August's Artists as a way to give back to the community that supported us so tenderly.”
- Erica Johansen, Founder & Executive Director
where we are heading
August's Artists believes that every child and family deserves access to art as a way to find peace during stressful healthcare experiences, the ability to celebrate and commemorate health milestones, and the support to heal.
