Hosted by

The day we've been waiting for.

Clear your calendar - It's going down! Brushes With Cancer 2014 kicks off on April 10th, and you're invited to take part in the festivities. Chez is our meeting spot for a night of fun and excitement. Come one, come all, bring a guest, and hang loose. This is going to be epic!

Brushes with Cancer is an evening that celebrates survivorship and hope through art, music and storytelling. Over the next few months, survivors will be asked to share their “Twist On Cancer,” (lessons learned, fighting strategies and new perspectives) with our online community of support. Their ‘twists’ will serve as inspiration for local and international artists to create unique pieces of art. The art will be auctioned in person at Chez, formerly Chez Paree Night Club, a hot spot frequented by Miles Davis, Nina Simone, and Frank Sinatra!

Please note we are currently sold out! We will not be able to accomodate walk ins at this time.
