There is no charge to the families or to the facilities where classes are held. Art Takeout is also sent to 6 Childrens Hospitals outside of the Twin Cities area to Los Angeles, Richmond, VA, Mayo in Rochester, MN, Orlando, FL, Dallas, TX and Madison, WI. In 2020, Breannas Gift provided more than 2,000 Art Takeout projects to these participating childrens hospitals.Art Take2 - Covid-19 regulations vary from state to state, but in Minnesota, we started thinking about how we could continue our mission from a distance. With playrooms locked down and no visitors, volunteers or volunteer groups allowed into the hospitals, children are isolated and confined. We have created a video component and added it to Breannas Gift programs. This venture is called Art Take2, a series of arts classes in a video format taught by our artist/teachers. Classes are very similar to what we bring to children in person and include classes in visual arts, dance, music and performing arts.”
