WHY:
Launched in 2004, Lilly Oncology On Canvas is now showcasing art from its 2010
competition. This biennial art competition invites people from the United States and
Puerto Rico diagnosed with any type of cancer- as well as their families, friends,
caregivers and healthcare providers- to express, through art and narrative, the lifeaffirming changes that give their cancer journeys meaning.
The themes explored in the more than 600 entries submitted to the 2010 competition
ranged from hope, to fear, to the loss of individualism, to the support of family and
friends, to the memory of those lost, to the perseverance of those who survive. In 2010,
nearly $40,000 was donated to the cancer-related charities chosen by winners. The
traveling exhibition of art is currently touring hospitals, cancer centers, patient advocacy
group events and other venues nationwide.
WHO:
Lilly Oncology On Canvas is presented by Lilly Oncology, dedicated to delivering
innovative solutions that improve the care of people living with cancer, in partnership
with the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship (NCCS), which advocates for quality
cancer care for all Americans and provides tools that empower people affected by
cancer to advocate for themselves. This exhibit is made possible by the participation of
Cancer Treatment Services Arizona.
