  Co facilitator

  Illume: Transformative Art Workshops for Breast Cancer Survivors is an art and mindfulness program offered at OMA specifically for adult breast cancer survivors in remission or cancer-free. It is the first of its kind to be offered by a museum.The definition for “illume” is to illuminate, enlighten, and educate which is indicative of this program’s overall intention to encourage mental and behavioral well-being among program participants.Sessions begin with a facilitated discussion, during which artworks from the OMA collection stimulate group conversations on themes related to the cancer journey; including resilience, transformation, hope, and wellness. Following the discussion, participants move to OMA’s studio classrooms, where they are led through artmaking exercises that build on the topics discussed in the galleries and promote self-reflection.In addition to the individual benefits of the workshop, Illume strives to foster a supportive group environment that encourages empathetic connections with other breast cancer survivors that will continue to evolve.
