Paseo Gallery celebrating Breast Cancer Awareness Month with “Pinktober” exhibit
"Miss Pinktober" by Sue Hale
In Your Eye Gallery, in the Historic Paseo Arts District, is celebrating Breast Cancer Awareness Month with an exhibit called “Pinktober,” featuring artwork by both gallery and guest artists.
The opening reception is set for 6 to 10 p.m. Friday and noon to 5 p.m. Saturday during the monthly Paseo Gallery Walk. Show will be on view through Saturday, Oct. 29.
“We know this is a major issue for women’s health, and we want to help by increasing awareness of the importance of receiving regular mammograms. We are thrilled that these guest artists, many of whom are survivors, are joining us in this effort.” said artist Sue Hale, coordinator of the exhibit, in a news release.
The show will include works by 17 artists, including Hale, Annalisa Campbell and Yun Hendricks. Each participating artist is either a survivor herself, like Natalie Friedman and Michelle Junkin, or has a close relationship with a survivor.
“This is an issue close to my heart since my mother was a survivor for 22 years,” Hale added in the release.
The exhibit will include cards and limited edition prints.
A portion of the proceeds from the exhibit will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation, an organization dedicated to ending breast cancer forever. In addition, all In Your Eye Gallery artists will donate 10 percent of their sales during the opening reception on Friday and Saturday to the Komen Foundation.
