ESAC issues a call for cancer survivors

Posted

In response to the success of the Eastern Shore Art Center’s B.R.A. Show last year, which honored those who battled breast cancer, many viewers asked for a follow-up show.

Susan Harrell, a survivor who won a spot at the Lance Armstrong Summit last October, came back with a resolve to showcase the many people who have been through the battle.

Using art as the method to get the message across she proposed an event to help support the Lance Armstrong Foundation.

This show is to honor those united in the cause to help find a cure, as well those who have been through the battle or are currently undergoing treatment.

Each face will reflect the emotions, the strength, the courage and the depth of the journey.

If you would like to participate in F.A.C.E.S.: Face All Cancer, Emerge with Strength! send in an image of the survivor (no larger than 8-by-10 inches).

Images can be photographs (copies are fine), or a piece of art that portrays the survivor’s face. Even a grandchild’s crayon drawing of the survivor can work.

Survivors can be of all ages, any geographic area —they want to see them all.

No framed pieces, please. Items mailed in will not be returned, as the gallery is expecting a large volume and hope to have the show travel.

All images must be marked with the following information: Name of survivor, what they survived, and words that got them through it.

A release form signed by the survivor must accompany all submissions. The forms are available at the Eastern Shore Art Center or online at www.EasternShoreArtCenter.com.

Mail them to: F.A.C.E.S. Show/Eastern Shore Art Center, 401 Oak Ave., Fairhope AL, 36532.

Participating in the show includes permission to photograph the images on display for media purposes to further the cause.

Survivors wishing to participate in art experiences to help create for this show can contact Nancy Raia at 928-2228 or e-mail her at nancy@easternshoreartcenter.com.

F.A.C.E.S. will be on exhibit from Oct. 8-29. The deadline for submission is Oct. 1.
