Art competition and exhibition 'Expressions of a Cancer Journey' begins in Northern Nevada
Northern Nevadans diagnosed with cancer, as well as families, friends, caregivers and healthcare providers, are invited to the Sierra Nevada Cancer Center office in Carson City (1460 South Curry Street, Suite 100) on Saturday, Nov. 2, from noon to 4 p.m., to share their cancer journeys through art and photography, as part of Lilly Oncology on Canvas: Expressions of a Cancer Journey.
SNCC will provide canvases, brushes, paint and other art supplies, as well as beverages, refreshments, a silent auction and raffle. Artists are free to express themselves however they like.
In 2004, Lilly Oncology created Lilly Oncology On Canvas to help people affected by cancer cope with the emotional side of the disease, by “expressing, through art and narrative, the life-affirming changes that give cancer journeys meaning.” This year, Sierra Nevada Cancer Center (SNCC) is sponsoring the Lilly Oncology on Canvas: Expressions of a Cancer Journey art competition and exhibition in Northern Nevada.
With the artists’ permission, completed projects will be on display at the SNCC Carson City office, with a reception planned for November 15 at 6:30 p.m. Other works from across the country will also be present at the reception. Local submissions will then be forwarded to Lilly Oncology for possible inclusion in the national tour of hospitals, cancer centers and patient advocacy group events. For more information, visit www.SierraCancer.com/LillyOncologyonCanvas or call (775) 883-3336.
