Description
A Free Bird is a 501(C)(3) nonprofit organization based in New York City. Our organization provides children diagnosed with cancer the opportunity to explore their artistic passions. Artistic expression has been proven to play an instrumental role in the healing process. We support children affected by cancer in their exploration of a range of self expression such as art, music, acting, poetry, writing, singing and other creative mediums.
Our talented Art Educators help children to explore their creative side through a range of mediums, such as art, music, acting, writing, and singing. They are encouraged to find an art form that appeals to them, then receive tuition, materials, and guidance. Creativity gives children the inspiration to fight their disease, provides a vital outlet for self-expression, and brings profound physical and mental health benefits.
A Free Bird's mission is to empower children affected by cancer to discover their inner artists.
