Art Therapy

What is Art Therapy?

We fund clinically supervised Art Therapy for young adults with cancer, led by certified art therapists. Patients navigating life after cancer treatment explore artmaking as a way of listening inward and expressing what words can’t hold.

Sessions combine mindfulness practices with creative exploration, providing space for reflection, connection, and emotional healing. Each creative process unfolds differently – through experimentation, reflection, or release – as participants find strength and meaning through shared artistic expression.

How the Program Works

Alli’s Journey supports Art Therapy through both an 8-week cohort-based program and open sessions offered every other month.

The 8-week program brings a small group of patients together over multiple sessions and culminates in an exhibition event where participants share their work.

Open sessions offer a lower-commitment, one-time opportunity for patients to create, reflect, and experience Art Therapy in a supportive setting.

“Postcards for Fellow Travellers”

On December 4, 2025, patients from last year’s Art Therapy program showcased their work at Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation – stepping forward not as patients, but as artists, sharing deeply personal pieces shaped through healing and creative expression.

This year’s Art Therapy exhibition is scheduled for November 12, 2026.
