Founded in 2003, Artswell is a registered Canadian charity dedicated to improving the quality of life and well being of individuals living with the effects of age, illness or injury.
Our goal is to empower individuals and communities through creativity by exposure to and engagement in the arts.
We promote the health of Canadians through the arts by carrying out customized creative, interactive art programs, workshops and projects for the benefit of individuals living with chronic illness or those with special needs, including those who are in hospitals, palliative care, long-term care facilities, and community support centres. We offer respite and support to families, staff and caregivers.
