Art Show To Raise Funds For YWCA Princeton’s Cancer Resource Center

PRINCETON, NJ — YWCA Princeton’s Breast Cancer Resource Center (BCRC) will host its fifth annual Beyond Pink Art Show on Oct. 6, at MarketFair.

The event will celebrate local women living with, through, and beyond breast cancer through art. The art is created by women participating in the BCRC’s Healing Arts Program. Photography, paintings, and multimedia pieces will be featured in the show, including painted mastectomy casts and other Healing Arts projects.

Th art will also be displayed as a pop-up gallery during the entire month of October.

For the past two years, the Beyond Pink Art Show has been held virtually due to COVID-19. The 2022 show will be held in-person.

“We’re ecstatic to be able to host this event safely and in person once again,” Melissa White McMahon, Director of the Breast Cancer Resource Center, said in a statement.

“Beyond Pink elicits such an array of emotions. The art itself brings to life a sense of hope and truth to the emotional struggles that survivors and thrivers may experience through their journey with cancer. I hope that the entire community will participate in this unique event.”

Doreen Valdes, Marketing Manager at MarketFair said the shopping center was glad to bring the community together and help raise awareness. “This event allows our customers to experience art through a unique lens while also making a positive difference,” Valdes said.

Ticket prices start at $50 for individuals and $90 for couples. All proceeds go towards the work of the Breast Cancer Resource Center at YWCA Princeton.

The Breast Cancer Resource Center is currently accepting art submissions, and sponsorship and volunteer opportunities are available at https://www.ywcaprinceton.org/beyondpink/.
