Brushes with Cancer Southern Region
May 1st, 2022: The Brushes With Cancer Southern Art Exhibition & Celebration
In person & virtually. Dripping Springs Distillers Hall in Dripping Springs, Texas
The Program

Brushes with Cancer is a program of Twist Out Cancer that strategically matches artists with individuals touched by cancer (inspirations). Over a period of 6 months, the artist and inspirations work together to build a relationship built on mutual understanding and trust. The artist creates a unique work of art that is reflective of the inspiration’s journey with cancer. The program culminates in a virtual event that celebrates survivorship, and hope, where the art is auctioned off with all proceeds benefiting the mission and work of Twist Out Cancer.
