MOLINE, ILLINOIS (June 4, 2021) — Gilda’s Club is hosting a FREE virtual Breast Cancer Art Project for anyone impacted by breast cancer on Wednesday, June 23, 2021, 6-7:30PM, via Zoom.
Join Gilda's Club Quad Cities and Mallory Shotwell for an art workshop designed for people impacted by breast cancer. This includes previvors (people with high risk or high family history), people who currently have breast cancer, and people who have survived breast cancer. Together, we will connect, talk, laugh, share, and make art for ourselves and, if desired, for the art to be donated to the Breast Cancer Art Project. Art practices are centered around art therapy, feelings, and various elements of the breast-cancer experience.
Materials needed: Paper of any kind, pencils, and pens. If desired, participants may also use colored pencils, collage, watercolor, oil pastels, or other art mediums.
Shotwell is an interdisciplinary artist, curator, and educator based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Her current body of work is a visual articulation of the breast-cancer experience spanning across the Midwest. Shotwell is grateful to be a curator and Studio Arts Program Manager for Lions and Rabbits, based in Grand Rapids.
