About the event
Cancer Survivors Day: Creative Workshop Series
Side Street Studio Arts invites you to a special series of FREE creative workshops leading up to the National Cancer Survivors Day Celebration at Sherman Hospital.
These art experiences are open to all those touched by cancer — survivors, caregivers, family members, healthcare professionals, and supporters. No experience necessary — just a willingness to create, connect, and heal through the arts.
Donations always welcome!
