Bra Talk offers survivors, friends and family a "canvas" on which to share their experiences through a creative and unique exhibit of bra art.
The purpose of Bra Talk is to heighten awareness about breast cancer and stress the importance of breast health and early detection.

WE EXHIBIT BRA COLLECTIONS BECAUSE
Displays of art bras offer education on breast health and cancer treatment in a unique form. High attendance at all exhibits demonstrates its value as an educational awareness tool.
Media exposure for Bra Talk, program presentations, and published calendars help raise awareness.
The artwork is inspirational to many and seems to help the artists and viewers rethink their personal responsibility in matters of health.
Published calendars put a positive, personal face on survivorship; they honor all survivors wherever these calendars are viewed.
OUTCOMES
Surveys showed survivors and others appreciated workshops and found them helpful.
Limited research showed workshops enhanced coping skills and improved survivors' well-being.
Workshop interaction encouraged involvement with sister-survivors, dispelling isolation.
