Orme Lewis Gallery
August 30, 2008 – October 26, 2008
Art for the Cure is an exhibit full of richness and depth featuring the Nancy G. Brinker Collection of Hungarian art. It unites people with a passion for art with those who want to make a global difference in the fight against breast cancer.
Art for the Cure presents great paintings and small masterpieces to a world audience, increases breast health awareness and helps raise vital funds to support national and international breast cancer outreach and education efforts.
The collection represents a rewarding survey of achievements of Hungarian culture and presents a shared aesthetic heritage. The span of styles, the range of references and the variety of media in the Brinker Collection attest to the expansiveness of Hungarian art, both of the classical avant-garde era and of contemporary times.
Among the treasures included are a number of important paintings, drawings and photographs made by Hungary's premier artists between the dawn of the 20th century and World War II.
Brinker's commitment to the arts of Hungary is matched only by her staunch advocacy for breast cancer research, education, screening and treatment as founder of Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, the world's largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and advocates fighting to end breast cancer forever.
This exhibition of 25 works of art coincides with the 25th anniversary of Susan G. Komen's
Race for the Cure® series. Click here for more information about Art for the Cure®.
A percentage of proceeds from admission to Art for the Cure will be donated to Susan G. Komen.
