Community Artist Wall

Share you passion with the cancer community

Art can heal and promote a sense of well-being. Art brings us together, creating discussion, and building a greater sense of community. The community artist wall is meant for just that. It is a space for patients, family, care partners, and staff to view visual art displays and share, grow, and heal together.

Anyone can apply to be featured as our community artist. Here is some key information to know before you apply:
