Project Info
Art for Recovery is an award-winning program of the UCSF Helen Diller Comprehensive Cancer Center that brings artists, writers, musicians and medical students to the patients of UCSF Medical Center to encourage them to express their pain, anger, hopes and dreams through words and images. Consistent with the mission of the university – Caring, Healing, Teaching, Discovering – our aim is to give patients coping with life-threatening illness the opportunity to express their feelings through creative experiences.
In 1988, Art for Recovery was established out of a deep conviction that patients could better heal, cope with their illnesses, and enjoy a greater quality of life by engaging in the expressive arts. Cynthia Perlis has directed the program since its inception. The program received the Blair L. Sadler International Healing Arts Competition Society for the Arts in Healthcare Recognition for Excellence.
To sustain our success and expand our programs, Art for Recovery relies on private funding. We appreciate your support!
