In Search of a Voice, The Art of Courage will open at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia Nov. 11 and runs until Dec. 10. The exhibition is organized by the Woodlawn Arts Foundation. Survivors covers the spectrum of contemporary art, from painting and sculpture to traditional crafts and avant-garde minimalism. The exhibition is steeped in the fears and hopes of breast cancer survivors.
Breast cancer strikes one out of every nine women in Canada.
Survivors is a collective effort that was conceived to draw attention to a devastating illness. Commissioned by Toronto arts patrons Barbara Amesbury and Joan Chalmers, Survivors is a monument to the courage of breast cancer survivors. The exhibition is organized by the Woodlawn Arts Foundation.
