Every season, Kits to Heart offers free, virtual Art for Cancer Wellness workshops for patients, caregivers, survivors, and healthcare workers. Participants are guided to explore a theme designed to explore feelings, increase self-expression, foster hope and strengths, identify coping skills, and engage in mindfulness and grounding. Materials are included and no art experience necessary!

Launched in 2022, the Art for Cancer Wellness Program is made possible thanks to funding from the 2021 Changemaker Challenge—organized and supported by the United Way of Central Maryland, Horizon Foundation, Women's Giving Circle of Howard County, and Community Foundation of Howard County.
