March 29, 2018 (DUBUQUE, IA) – The Dubuque Museum of Art (DuMA) announced today it will partner with Quad Cities-based Living Proof Exhibit on a regional juried exhibition featuring works of art by cancer survivors and patients.
Living Proof Exhibit, which provides the therapeutic benefits of the arts to people impacted by cancer, is seeking entries for its annual exhibition to be held from September 6–December 9, 2018, in the Mary Waterman Gildehaus Community Gallery at the Figge Art Museum in Davenport.
The exhibit will then travel to Dubuque and the DuMA, where it will be on display from January 11 to March 17, 2019.
A Call to Entry is now available. All cancer survivors or patients within a 200-mile radius of the Quad-Cities, including Greater Dubuque, are eligible and may submit up to five (5) works for consideration. Entries must be received by June 15, 2018. Complete submission details are available at www.livingproofexhibit.org.
Past Living Proof exhibits have been displayed at the Cedar Rapids Museum of Art, the Figge Art Museum, and in Peoria, Illinois.
"This exhibition, A Visualization of Hope, is a celebration of the creative spirit of the cancer survivor," said Pamela Crouch, executive director of Living Proof Exhibit. "We have shown sculpture, painting, crochet, and photography to name just a few mediums. This is a wonderful opportunity to showcase how art impacts health, and that spirit shines through each piece."
