The Mammography aRt Initiative

The Mammography aRt Initiative was established in 2011 to address the need for better access to information about breast health and affordable breast health services for women in Miami-Dade County. Last year, our inaugural Art Show raised over $10,000 with which we were able to provide funding for breast health workshops in Hialeah, Opa Locka, and Miami Gardens and sponsor mammograms for 75 non and underinsured women. At this year's Art Show, our goal is to raise $25,000 so that we can continue to provide and expand our services to meet the needs of our community members.

 

  • All proceeds will go towards breast health education in underserved areas of Miami-Dade County, sponsoring mammograms for women in need, and providing subsidies for follow-up services and other costs associated with accessing healthcare. Please visit our Community Breast Health Program website for more information about our education and health service efforts.
  • The Medicine and Society Community Medicine Practicum is a community service learning project required of all FIU Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine Students. To find out more about the curriculum, please call 305-348-2362.

The Art Show

This year's Mammography aRt Initiative Art Show will be held during
Breast Cancer Awareness Month, on Saturday, October 5 2013 from 6:30pm-9:30pm at the Bakehouse Art Complex in the Wynwood Arts District, Miami, Fl.

Our Art Show attracts a diverse audience of students, faculty, and physicians, as well as philanthropists and members of the art community. Our aims are to raise awareness about the need for greater breast health education and services in Miami, to create a dialogue about the intersection of healing and art, and to showcase artistic talent in South Florida.

The theme for the 2013 Art Show is "healing" in its various forms and the artwork is donated by emerging and established artists; we also display and auction entries from our Student and Community Art Contests. We welcome interpretations in all media forms. If you are interested in contributing art to our auction, please contact Adrienne Wang at awang004@fiu.edu.

Our programming is made possible through the generous contributions of individual donors, businesses, and art collectors. Monetary donations can be made directly through our website and are tax-deductible; we also accept in-kind donations to support the Art Show, and our Art Show includes a silent auction that provides local businesses with a unique opportunity to promote their products and services. Please contact Brigitte Lasser at blass004@fiu.edu for more information.
