Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Brushes with Cancer
Brushes with Cancer matches individuals touched by cancer with artists who are charged with creating unique works of art reflective of that person's journey with cancer. The artwork is exhibited and auctioned at the Brushes with Cancer Celebratory Gala and Art Exhibition. Since 2011 we have impacted over 17,000 people through this innovative and unique program that has taken place in Chicago, Ann Arbor, Toronto, Montreal and Tel Aviv. In 2019 the program will launch in Austin, Detroit and Philadelphia.
Twistshops
Twistshops are art therapy-based workshops that focus on utilizing the arts as a mechanism for healing. Twistshops promote healing, relaxation and emotional recovery through art therapy based interventions that are designed to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress related to cancer.
Survivors, caregivers and previvors will be guided by a licensed art therapist through a variety of art-making activities that will allow participants to process their past and current experiences as a patient, caregiver or supporter of someone with cancer. Through storytelling and mindful art-making, the intention is to help participants explore different emotions, and in turn revive self, heal and find ways to move forward.
