Brushes with Cancer comes to Philadelphia

We are excited to announce that the Brushes with Cancer Philly program will take place this summer in the city of love! If you are an artist or an individual who has been touched by cancer please consider applying to this transformative program. Applications are now available online and are due March 1st.

“Brushes With Cancer Provides Psycho-Social Support To Those Touched By Cancer To Improve The Quality Of Life For Cancer Patients, Their Family And Loved Ones, Through A Unique Art Experience.”

The Program: Creating Unexpected Intersections

Brushes with Cancer strategically matches artists with those touched by cancer to create unique pieces of artwork reflective of their journey. Over a period of 4 months, fifty selected pairs will connect in person, via skype, on the phone or by email. their relationships are guided and supported by Twist Out Cancer volunteers with the intention of creating a support system for both the artist and subject. the program finishes on a high note with our signature celebratory art exhibition, gala and auction where the artwork is revealed for the first time.

If you are interested in participating in future Brushes with Cancer programs as either an artist, inspiration or host committee member, please contact Jenna Benn Shersher at jenna@twistoutcancer.org.
