Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Health
Mission: Twist Out Cancer is an international non-profit charitable organization that provides psychosocial support to individuals touched by cancer through creative arts programming. The organization was founded on the principle that when you share, the world opens up.
Results: What started in 2012 as a small art exhibition in Chicago for 20 Inspirations and Artists has now become an international program that has touched over 40,000 people around the world. Over the past nine years, 17 Brushes With Cancer programs have been held in seven cities.
Programs: Our signature program is Brushes with Cancer, which is a six month program that matches those touched by cancer with artists to create a unique piece of artwork that reflects on their personal journey with cancer. This unique celebration of survivorship and hope pairs previvors, survivors, and caregivers with talented artists working in a variety of mediums. Those touched by cancer share their ‘twist on cancer’ – stories, feelings and experiences – with the artist, which serves as the inspiration for the art. The program concludes with an art exhibit and celebratory event for the participants, their families, and the community.
