Arts For Life brings creativity INTO the hospital, and we are proud to literally be meeting kids and teens where they are with our programs. Since most of the magic of Arts For Life happens inside hospital clinics and patient rooms, we are especially energized by the chance to share that magic through our events!
These are wonderful opportunities for our community to come together—most often in-person and sometimes online!—to support a worthwhile mission while having fun and getting to know one another!
We love the opportunity to share the impact that you have made by supporting Arts For Life, so we will look forward to seeing you at our next event!
Rise and Shine
Rise & Shine is Arts For Life’s annual breakfast benefit gathering, featuring speakers who know Arts For Life best (families and staff from the hospital) and can tell the story of how the arts have made a real difference in their healthcare experience.

Beyond Brushes
BEYOND BRUSHES is our signature cocktail hour event that raises community awareness and essential support for pediatric patients served by Arts For Life. BEYOND BRUSHES brings our Triad community together to provide so much more than art materials—your support brings creativity, discovery, and joy to thousands of children and families in treatment for illnesses and disabilities at Brenner Children’s Hospital in Winston-Salem and across North Carolina.
