Our Mission
Twist Out Cancer provides social and emotional support to individuals touched by cancer through creative arts programming.
Your journey is unique, but you don’t have to walk it alone.
“The opportunity to gift oneself to a stranger, as love, is the opportunity of being human together in this life. Brushes With Cancer grows one’s heart 100 times larger just from the love of it all.”
– Michele Kellner, Brushes with Cancer Artist
“When you share – the world opens up”
