Art+ in a box

Art+ in a box provides activities whenever we are not around. We commission high quality art and music experiences, which are packaged up and delivered for children to enjoy whenever they fee like it. We also collaborate to provide virtual activities which can be watched or downloaded from anywhere in the hospital or at home.
