In honor of May – Oncology Nursing Month – you are invited to a free exhibit showcasing the art from the 2010 Lilly Oncology on Canvas: Expressions of a Cancer Journey biennial art competition and exhibition. There will be 75 pieces of art work done by cancer patients or their caregivers rotating throughout the week of May 7 to May 11, 2012, in the first floor lobby in the Palo Alto Medical Foundation’s Mountain View Center. An opening reception will be held at 10 a.m. on Monday May 7.
Each art piece is attached with a cancer-fighting story filled with courage, love, compassion and hope.
