Two By Twelve has been hosting arts and music based programs and workshops for the Ronald McDonald House of New York since 2014.

We have planned and facilitated workshops in areas such as yoga, meditation, magic and comedy to arts and crafts and live music.

Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Two By Twelve has been hosting Welcome Events for new families to the House as well as monthly online workshops for current families.

Since 2021, Two By Twelve has been sponsoring NYE Dinner for all of the children and families at the House.

Two By Twelve is pleased to present Project Survive: The (Un)lucky Ones, a virtual exhibition that tells the authentic and complex story of Cancer through the collected words, images, and artifacts of Cancer survivors. Project Survive: The (Un)lucky Ones aims to provide rich depictions of the Cancer experience through the intimate perspective of those directly impacted by using photography, in-depth interviews, and artifact collection. Survivors reflect on their experiences and address the question: What does it mean to be a Survivor?

Project Survive: The (Un)lucky Ones seeks to increase the visibility of both the Cancer experience and life afterwards. Over many years, Two By Twelve has interviewed and photographed Cancer Survivors. Personal artifacts provided by survivors, such as patient charts, diary/journal entries, poetry and art, will live alongside representations of Cancer in Media such as Audre Lorde’s Cancer Journals and Margaret Edson’s Wit in this moving and powerful exhibition. By placing artifacts in tandem with the shared stories and portraits, a digital exhibition is created that seeks to dispel the notion that there is one universal Cancer experience. It strives to illuminate the many unique, powerful, and complex stories of survivors.

Project Survive: The (Un)lucky Ones provides an inclusive and empowering platform for Cancer Survivors to tell their honest narratives, share artifacts, and engage in reflection on the Cancer experience regardless of age, gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, location, ability level, diagnosis, or course of treatment.
