Shine On! Art Exhibition: Beyond 20 Years

― An exhibition of Hospital Facility Dogs® created by young artists and children ―

“Scenes with Dogs: Remembering the Moments They Were by Our Side”

CONCEPT

The “Shine On! Art Exhibition” is a charity exhibition celebrating the 20th anniversary of Shine On! Kids, a certified NPO supporting children facing childhood cancer and serious illnesses.

The exhibition features artwork created by children with hospital experience, as well as new works by 10 contemporary artists.

Purchasing featured artworks directly supports the activities of Shine On! Kids. All sales proceeds will be donated to the organization.

Through these works, we hope visitors can experience the warm presence of Hospital Facility Dogs®, who stand gently by children’s sides in hospitals.
