Jan Hart-Schuyers: A Retrospective Show

Masks, Stained Glass, Dolls, Paintings

The Women's Cancer Resource Center (WCRC) will participate in this year's The Art of Living Black (TAOLB) Open Studios event for local African American artists. The WCRC Gallery features a retrospective show of the work of the late Jan Hart-Schuyers, the co-founder of TAOLB.

The show runs February 1 through March 13, 2002 and will include Hart-Schuyers' African-inspired papier-mâche masks, stained glass, dolls, and paintings. Jan was an innovative artist, working successfully in many mediums over a period of three decades. Hart-Schuyers was also a past president of the board of directors of ProArts, an educator and administrator at Studio One, an editor of the 510 Artists Newsletter, and an active member of the Bay Area Arts community. Her commitment to the arts inspired her to devote literally thousands of hours to various community arts organizations, thus offering her gifts to hundreds of her fellow artists in the San Francisco Bay Area.

The community is invited to participate in the Open Studios tour on March 2 and 3 from 11 AM to 5 PM. The WCRC Gallery will be open during the tour. Regular gallery hours are Monday through Friday 9AM - 5PM and by appointment. There is no charge for admission and the gallery is wheelchair accessible.

The Women's Cancer Resource Center holds cancer support groups for African American Women and hosts a Sister to Sister Program to address the issues of African American women with cancer. All of the services of WCRC are free.
