Art for the day - Celebration Of Life And Art

© Betty Refour - Untitled #127 - Acrylic on Canvas - 16 x 20

My painting, Untitled #127 will be part of the Celebration Of Life And Art exhibit opening June 1st at the Troy and Dollie Smith Cancer Center. The Center is located at the INTEGRIS Baptist Medical Center Complex, Building D, 3300 NW Expressway, Oklahoma City, OK. The exhibit is a tribute to those whose lives have been touched by cancer. The show will run through July 13th. Opening reception is June 1st from 6 - 8pm. The reception is open to the public but you must RSVP at 405-951-2277 indicating the number of attendees. There will also be a luncheon on June 3rd to be held at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum, 1700 NE 63rd Street, Oklahoma City, OK. The luncheon too is free and open to the public but you must make a reservation at the above number. The luncheon will include a presentation "Medicine, Marathons and Miracles: Turning a Diagnosis of Cancer into Personal Victory" by Roger and Kathy Cawthon. Roger is a former CNN sportscaster and Kathy is an award winning author and photographer. They are co-founders of the Cancer Crusade, an organization dedicated to fighting cancer with hope and humor. They were diagnosed with cancer within six weeks of each other. Their frankly hilarious take on the world of medicine blends seamlessly with a powerful message that energizes and inspires audiences to laugh, love and live in the moment, every moment.


All artwork is available for sale with the proceeds benefiting the Art Therapy Program at the Troy and Dollie Smith Cancer Center. There is a wonderful array of art, all by artists whose lives have been touched by cancer. Please stop by.


Have a great day everybody, thanks for stopping by.
