The exhibit is being presented in partnership with Bright Pink, a national nonprofit that’s focused on prevention and early detection of breast and ovarian cancer in young women.

“Our students are thrilled to have a chance to contribute to the cause by sharing their personal art creations,” said Matt Ross, the school’s founder. “They sought to evoke feelings through painting and use emotion as a source.”
