Brushes with Cancer Spring 2025 Applications OPEN!
Brushes with Cancer strategically matches artists with individuals touched by cancer (“Inspirations”). Over a period of 6 months, the Artist and Inspiration 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 celebration of survivorship and hope, where the art is auctioned off with all proceeds benefiting the mission and work of Twist Out Cancer.
If you are a survivor, caregiver, previvor, or any individual touched by cancer, please apply to be an Inspiration in our upcoming 2025 program. Apply as an Inspiration HERE!
If you are an artist willing to share their creative gift to create a unique opportunity for those touched by cancer to share, connect, and heal, please apply to be an Artist in our upcoming 2025 program. Apply as an Artist HERE!
