The University of Illinois Cancer Center hosted “Gallery of Hope,” an evening at a Chicago art gallery where cancer survivors and their families, healthcare providers, scientists and Cancer Center staff connected with each other while working together on a collage of the City of Chicago flag.
The Cancer Center’s Translational Oncology Research Program, Office of Community Outreach and Engagement and Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion collaborated to create the event that was held at Gallery Guichard in Chicago’s South Side Bronzeville neighborhood.
The goal of the event was to create an inclusive space to share experiences, including those around cancer, while working on a project grounded in the arts.
