Comments from our Exhibition Guests:
This is an exhibition created by ordinary people from all walks of life and they do not consider themselves artists. The single thread that runs through this exhibition is that they all have heard the three words that change a life forever, “You Have Cancer.”
You might ask why anyone would want to create from the place of pain and struggle that comes with cancer, much less view an exhibition about it. We believe several things:
- The joys in life are lived; the pain is life is expressed. Once pain is released, we are enlivened and move towards living more fully.
- Pain is universal – no matter the issue – so this exhibition speaks to a wide audience.
- Difficult issues are hard to talk about. We need a threshold, an entryway that helps us find our way into these conversations. These works of art do that.
- “The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.” – Aristotle Art helps us understand what it is to be human.
- As one viewer said, “This exhibition is not just about cancer, it is about the incredible resiliency of the human spirit. Inspiring and Uplifting!”
We all have been touched by cancer in some way, whether a diagnosis has been received personally, or we have journeyed through it with a family member, friend, co-worker or neighbor.

Suggested Installation information
1. When unpacking a box, always note how the contents have been wrapped and placed. Keep all the original packing material to use when repacking. Fill out condition report as you are unpacking.
2. When staging two-dimensional pieces, place them upright against the wall, face-to-face and back-to-back, with separators between faces. Stack similarly sized works together. Never lay panels or framed works flat on the floor, and use rubber or non-skid pads to prevent slipping and to protect the bottom of the objects.
3. All works are wired ready to be wall mounted. We will provide easels if you do not have a designated gallery.
4. When hanging two-dimensional works, position the center of the object at standard eye level. This is generally considered to be 60″-64″ from the floor.
5. We suggest around 24” between each artwork. This can be adjusted as your individual space requires. The artwork can also be broken up into smaller groups or units if space demands.
The exhibitor is responsible for booking reservations, publicity, unpacking and repacking of show, handling and hanging of shows, picking up and returning the exhibits (if within driving distance – otherwise shipping arrangements will be made) and assumes liability for rented exhibitions.
If the exhibition is available, exhibitors will receive a confirmation letter and rental-fee invoice. Payment should be sent no fewer than 30 days before the scheduled pick-up/ delivery time of the exhibition. Invoices must be paid in full before any exhibition is released.
