Join Nueva Vida in the fight against breast cancer

Tonight, Saturday, October 19th, local, national and international artists will join Nueva Vida in the fight against breast cancer through a silent art auction at the Art Museum of the Americas. Approximately 66 artists from 19 different nationalities will be exhibiting over 100 pieces of art with a variety of styles and mediums, such as sculpture, painting (abstract and figurative), photographs, installation and digital media. 

 

This is a wonderful opportunity to acquire quality pieces under the retail price while simultaneously benefiting a good cause. Proceeds will benefit Nueva Vida, a unique organization helping the underserved Latino community in the Washington DC Metropolitan Area. Nueva Vida’s free cancer programs ensure that, among other activities, 1,444 disadvantaged Latinas receive cancer screenings every year.

Below is a link to the online catalogue because art is the language of health and our artists have touched their souls in creating their work.
