Art heals.

At HeARTistry, we believe creativity can heal hearts, spark hope and bring people together – even in the toughest of times. We want to brighten the lives of others facing challenges by surrounding them with warmth, imagination and community. We collect literary pieces and original artwork and design and publish a heartfelt magazine that is sent directly to local areas that support our mission (hospitals, shelters, etc.). Each page is filled with thoughtful stories, poems, illustrations and messages of love from volunteers and creatives who want to make a difference.

But our mission doesn’t stop there. We also make and donate handcrafted teddies – like sock monkeys – and colourful bracelets, each made with love and to bring comfort, companionship and a sense of normalcy to the people who receive them. We know healing isn’t just physical – it’s emotional and social too. That’s why we also want to uplift the families, nurses and carers who stand beside these brave young patients every day.

Through community-based volunteer sessions, we invite people of all ages to contribute their time and talents to a cause that matters. Whether it’s writing a story, sewing a teddy or threading a bracelet, every act of kindness adds to the circle of support we are building. Our vision is to create a movement of compassion through art and service – where creativity becomes a bridge to comfort, connection and healing for those struggling and their loved ones.
