July Exhibit: Breast Impressions

The Dennis R. Neill Equality Center art gallery will host its monthly First Thursday meet-the-artist reception from 6-9pm, Thursday, July 3, 2008, for the opening of its July exhibit, Breast Impressions.

For the second year Breast Impressions breast cast art will be on display at the Oklahomans for Equality Dennis R. Neill Equality Center gallery through the month of July. Only breast cancer survivors have been cast in plaster this year, and local artists have turned the castings into stunning examples of each survivor’s incredible journey through breast cancer. The art displayed will be auctioned at the Breast Impressions Annual Gala for the benefit of Tulsa Project Woman, Inc. on October 3, 2008. But the Equality Center
“Beauty beyond Breast Cancer” show allows Oklahomans to see and experience the inspiration through each survivor’s story. Breast Impressions is honored to display the work at the Dennis R. Neill Equality Center gallery because of the higher risk for developing breast cancer among lesbians and bisexual women. Due to a variety of social stigmas statistically they have a higher risk profile than their heterosexual counterparts. Realizing
this, Tulsa Project Woman will hold an educational seminar during the Breast Impressions art show, to further promote breast cancer awareness through the community.

Opening Night of the Gallery showing will be July 3, 2008 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. The Dennis R. Neill Equality Center is located at 621 E. 4th Street, in downtown Tulsa. Refreshments will be provided by Panera Bread, Godiva Chocolate, and Escargot’s. Many of the artists and breast cancer survivor models will be in attendance to meet those who visit. The show will continue through July until the 28th, Monday through Saturday from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Tulsa Project Woman will also host a dessert reception and private showing of the Breast Impressions Exhibit and then a Breast Health Education seminar on Thursday, July 17 at 7:00pm. This seminar will include information on Breast Cancer Prevention, How to do a Self Breast Exam and the Tulsa Project Woman Program.
