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 celebration of survivorship and hope, where the art is auctioned off with all proceeds benefiting the mission and work of Twist Out Cancer.

Private Tour of the Art Exhibition
Brushes with Cancer Northeast 2024 exhibition will take place at the Old City Jewish Arts Center in Philadelphia, PA. The artwork will be displayed and the pieces will be available for purchase through the auction. We are offering private group tours for guests to read the stories of inspiration, and experience the healing power of the creative arts. Group visits are free but need to be booked in advance.
