Vessels of Hope

Art promotes a sense of community and is now widely accepted in healthcare as an aid to healing.

Support and encouragement go a long way toward positive medical outcomes, reducing feelings of isolation and despair.

Vessels of Hope is a pilot project providing a unique opportunity for potters and ceramic artists in the Phoenix area to make a difference in the life of a cancer patient, survivor or caregiver.
