Ziggy's Art Bus

Ziggy's Art Bus

"Ziggy’s is a place where my child can forget about her medical issues and just be a kid for an hour!”

Join us on a colorful journey to bring smiles, simple fun, and joyful moments to kids who need it the most. 

Introducing Ziggy's Art Bus: a creative oasis for children in hospice and facing life-threatening conditions.

💜 WE BRING ART-WITH-HEART

We’re on a mission to provide a respite from worries, empower self-expression, craft beautiful memories, and create joyful moments. Ziggy’s stands as the only organization in the U.S. with a mobile art studio designed exclusively for children with serious illnesses. Read on to see where we roam and why we are on the go!

🏡 WE VISIT PRIVATE HOMES

For families with critically ill children, leaving the house is a monumental task. These families are grateful we bring art to their doorsteps. As one mom shared: "It's a challenge to find art activities our child can do, and even harder to get there. We love Ziggy's for making art accessible for all!"

🎨 WE FILL CARE HOMES WITH CREATIVITY

Crescent Cove Hospice and the Ronald McDonald House support families during their most trying times. Lacking their own arts programs, they rely on Ziggy’s to fill their homes with weekly bursts of creativity.

🏥 WE BRIGHTEN HOSPITAL STAYS

Children’s Minnesota recognizes the power of creative play for kids enduring long stays and painful treatments. They depend on Ziggy’s for over 700 of our hand-crafted Art Kits each year to comfort their patients.

🌟 WE CREATE LASTING MEMORIES

The Make-a-Wish Foundation and HopeKids create unforgettable experiences for families in need. They turn to Ziggy's to infuse their events with joyful art and magical community-building moments!
