Art That Heals: Grabie at the “Painting Pawtist” Party in Oklahoma Children’s Hospital
It’s always meaningful to see how art can create moments of connection, and we were grateful to play a small role in a recent event at Oklahoma Children’s Hospital.
Our Grabie Art Fund donated 100 sets of Dual Tip Water-Based Sketch Marker Sets to the Oklahoma Children’s Hospital, and they put them to good use!
The “Painting Pawtist” party brought together patients, siblings, and caregivers for an experience centered around art and connection. Participants had the opportunity to paint personalized paint-by-number canvases featuring some of the hospital’s most beloved companions, its adorable facility dogs Churro, Duchess, and Prince! With guidance from the hospital’s incredible art therapy team, including Brittany and Barbara, along with art volunteer Daissy, families also explored a hands-on splatter paint room.
Churro, Duchess, and Prince, the beloved therapy dogs, play an important role in providing comfort and emotional support to patients, and seeing them brought to life through art was such a special and fun moment to have everyone participate in.
Events like this are at the heart of the Grabie Art Fund, bringing art into spaces where it can make a real difference. We’re grateful to partner with organizations like Oklahoma Children’s Hospital and to support the incredible work of their teams, who create moments of light, joy, and connection for the families that are going through challenging times.
