  • 'Oncology on Canvas' is at Ochsner

    East Jefferson bureau

    Lilly Oncology On Canvas, an art exhibition honoring the physical and emotional journeys people face when confronted by a cancer diagnosis, is on display at Ochsner Medical Center, 1514 Jefferson Highway, Old Jefferson, from now until Nov. 30.

    This free public exhibit, which is touring communities nationwide, will showcase art from the 2008 "Oncology On Canvas" competition.

    Launched in 2004, Oncology On Canvas is calling for entries -- from now through June -- for its 2010 competition. This biennial art competition invites people diagnosed with any type of cancer, as well as their families, friends, caregivers and health care providers, to express themselves through art and writing.

    In 2008, 26 prizes were awarded to 20 cancer charities selected by the 19 winners in various categories.

    The traveling exhibition of art from the 2008 competition is currently touring hospitals, cancer centers, patient advocacy group meetings and other venues nationwide.

    Lilly "Oncology On Canvas" is sponsored by the pharmaceutical company, Lilly USA.

    For more information or how to enter the 2010 competition, go to www.LillyOncologyOnCanvas.com.
