1 min read 15 February 2023

Last night we launched the SPLICE exhibition - an art program for young people who have experienced cancer to develop skills and prepare for pathways into further education and work.

Art Teacher Mia Schoen (far right in photo) has taken the participants on an incredible journey and the results are absolutely stunning. 

This year is extra special thanks to the very kind support of Collins Place who provided a gallery space which was expertly curated by Bruce Copland.

The exhibition will be on until the end of the month (just next to the Sofitel Hotel) - make sure you check it out. 

A massive thanks to Anna Gilkison, from Peter Mac's Adolescent & Young Adult Cancer Service, (far left in photo) for all her hard work in bringing the exhibition to life and supporting all of our young patients.

We would like to thank all those who support the program, including Centre for Adult Education, Koala Kids Foundation, Box Hill Institute, Learn Local, Royal Children's Hospital and the Victorian Government.  

A truly collaborative effort that has given so much to our patients.
