Some years ago, The Breast Cancer Fund sponsored an exhibit called Art.Rage.Us. It featured art, poetry, etc., from survivors of breast cancer. The images were powerful, wonderful and very moving. Art can be made by professional or by 'regular' people who are so moved. It helps to release emotion, express all sorts of feelings, help others understand issues, and so much more. We are gathering information on events, groups and techniques that can and have been used to help in recovery. Look below for the results: Abstract # 8244 ASCO, 2004 LINK to UCSF LINK "Arts and Healing Network is an on-line resource celebrating the connection between art and healing. Our web site serves as an international resource for anyone interested in the healing potential of art, especially environmentalists, social activists, artists, art professionals, health care practitioners, and those challenged by illness. Our hope is that the information presented here will educate and inspire."
