New Exhibit Opening: Curating for a Cure

The Bishop Art Gallery in Bed-Stuy to host charity art auction to benefit the Leukemia Lymphoma Society

On Thursday, May 23, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. The Bishop Art Studio and Gallery will open a new exhibit entitled, "Curating for a Cure" a charity art auction to benefit the Leukemia Lymphoma Society. 

Every four minutes, someone is diagnosed with blood cancer, with more than 137,200 new cases this year. Leukemia causes more deaths among children and young adults under the age of 20 than any other cancer. With these staggering rates, chances are good that many of us will be directly affected by blood cancers at some point in our lives.

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society funds lifesaving blood cancer research around the world and provides free information and support services. Curating for a Cause has generously supported LLS in the past, and seeks to continue the relationship by hosting an auction at The Bishop. The event will be curated by Jackie Cantwell and Molly Myer.
