CHAP Art Club

Art Club is an extension of CHAP hospital art-making programs, and is open to any child experiencing a medical or mental health challenge. Art Club is a wonderful way for kids to express themselves, get creative, meet new friends, and maintain consistent community. We invite siblings and families to join the fun, too!

Best of all – Art Club is completely free.

The magic of Art Club happens at the CHAP Art Studio, via Zoom, and out in the community. We’re excited for you to enjoy child-directed, creative, healing art magic with other kids and families!

To join Art Club in person at CHAP Art Studio, all you have to do is show up during a session! In-person Art Club takes place every Thursday from 4-5pm, with the exception of the 2nd week of the each month when we host virtual art-making. CHAP Art Studio is located at 920 Lloyd Center, Portland, OR 97232.

To join Art Club via Zoom, please email info@chappdx.org or call 503-243-5294 to get on our email list. Zoom instructions and material lists are sent out prior to each session, so please let us know if you are joining the fun!
