Snow City Arts Foundation brings our programs to the patients of Rush University Children's Hospital and John H. Stroger Hospital of Cook County, and soon to young patients in hospitals across Chicago. Snow City Arts serves children of all ages, but most students are between the ages of 8 and 18 years old. More than three quarters of the children we work with are minorities and on public aid. About half of our children use English as their second language. Many of these children were good or exceptional students before their need for hospitalization. Now, most are failing classes as they have been in and out of the hospital for months or even years. Snow City Arts works with these children to boost their confidence levels, stimulate their minds, and teach them that they are a contributing member to their community's cultural dialogue. Last year alone, more than 2,100 children took art in our workshops. |
