Call for Art: The Friends of Norris Cotton Cancer Center
Deadline: November 18  

The Friends of Norris Cotton Cancer Center has issued a call for art for an exhibit to be hung in the Norris Cotton Cancer Centers in Lebanon, Manchester, and Nashua, NH. The exhibit is based on the belief that art contributes to and reinforces the healing process for patients who have been diagnosed with and are receiving treatment for cancer. Art provides a therapeutic refuge for those in need of finding perspective on what is happening in their lives, and this exhibit is intended to offer enlightenment and encouragement to patients, families, and staff of the Cancer Centers. This exhibit will be hung for four months at the Centers.
