Art’s healing power is the subject of a contest conducted by Gilda’s Club Worldwide to help colorectal cancer survivors find courage in their creativity. “Snapshot of Survival,” an exhibit traveling from Miami to Seattle to Buffalo, is highlighted by the first-place work of North Miami Beach resident Susan Lazarus, whose winning entry, Bright Future, reflects the inspiration she discovered within herself while recovering from the illness. This morning at 10:30, Lazarus will unveil her opus at the University of Miami Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center (1475 NW 12th Ave., D-1, Miami), where researchers believe expression through art is an important part of the healing process.
