Brushes With Cancer is an artistic celebration that pairs accomplished artists with “inspirations,” people whose lives have been impacted by cancer as previvors, current patients, survivors or caregivers. The artists bring to life the inspirations’ twist on cancer — stories, feelings and experiences — with works of art that represent the inspirations’ personal journey with the disease.
Explore the works of art from the inaugural Brushes With Cancer program. All proceeds will benefit future editions of Brushes With Cancer at the Arsht Center. Purchased art pieces will be available for pick up at the Arsht Center starting October 13.
