Katie's Art Project is a fiscally sponsored project of Fractured Atlas working to foster the connection between artists and terminally ill children to leave a lasting legacy through art. Founded in 2010 by Stephanie Klemons, Associate Choreographer of Broadway's smash hit Hamilton, Katie's Art Project strives to bring arts programming directly to kids with cancer in their own environment. "We bring the Broadway performer to them." The idea is to create a long term relationship that builds a motivation to endure the difficult treatments, build friendships and create legacies. Fractured Atlas is a 501(c)(3) public charity. Contributions for the purposes of Katie's Art Project are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.

Music is Medicine, founded in 2008 by Leora and Ariela Friedman, is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that mobilizes musicians to support seriously ill or otherwise disadvantaged youth. Its core model enables musicians to create personalized, original music for patients to uplift and empower. Drew Seeley [Another Cinderella Story], Lucas Grabeel [High School Musical], and Ashley Argota [The Fosters] have participated. Music is Medicine has also inspired student musicians across the U.S. to organize benefit concerts and hospital-based music programs through campus chapters.

The Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen Center for Thought & Culture, a project of the Archdiocese of New York, is a forum to highlight the true, the good, and the beautiful. At the Sheen Center, we seek to deepen, explore and challenge ourselves, Catholic and non-Catholic alike, intellectually, artistically, and spiritually.
