Calling All Artists! Cancer Tamer is seeking artwork for their Breast Cancer Mermaid™ Art Exhibition to bring education and awareness about breast cancer. The exhibit will take place their Cinco de Mayo Weekend Health Expo on May 4! Submissions are required by April 6.
Why mermaids? Mermaids are seen as mystical alluring sensual beings. When a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer and undergoes surgery or has a mastectomy, a lumpectomy, or reconstruction, she believes she’s lost that alluring sensual mystical part of herself. She has not! The Breast Cancer Mermaid is our way to show that a woman can still be sensual and alluring despite breast cancer. We welcome each artists’ depiction of what they envision a Breast Cancer Mermaid would look like. Would she have one shell, two, none? Would the Breast Cancer Mermaid have her long lustrous hair? Would her tail be a little shabby? Share your version of what a Breast Cancer Mermaid™ would look like. Extra brownie points for a Breast Cancer Merman!
Interested artists, contact Charley Ferrer at cancertamer@cancertamer.org
