Art HOPE Community

"Helping
Opportunities for People Everywhere"
A collaboration between York Hospital Oncology
Treatment Center and Cooperative Extension, Art HOPE uses
experiential arts to bring together individuals living or affected
by cancer, their families and caregivers, and the community.
At monthly
Creative Gatherings participants explore and create art as a form of stress reduction
and well-being. Created art is displayed in the Art HOPE
“Garden of Gifts Gallery” at York Hospital’s Oncology Treatment
Centers in York, Wells & South Berwick.

their time and creative energy in support of this community-building
program. They are volunteering through the 4-H Discovery Arts

A
Creative Service Opportunity
We offer this opportunity for teenagers aged 14-17 to
receive training and to join monthly Art HOPE Creativity Gatherings
as we come together in celebration of creative expression and
community.
Creativity Gatherings
are facilitated monthly meetings where those affected by cancer
gather to create art, support one another in their journeys, and
build a sense a community for themselves.
