This summer, Brooklyn Made Store and the American Cancer Society present Cancer & Community: The Journey Through Art—a powerful exhibition honoring those whose lives have been touched by cancer. Hosted at both Brooklyn Made locations—City Point and Industry City—this exhibition brings together the work of 12 Brooklyn-based artists who transform personal stories of illness, loss, healing, and strength into compelling visual art.

From photography and woodblock prints to ceramics, sculpture, and mixed media, each piece reveals the emotional layers of cancer’s impact—whether through the eyes of survivors, caregivers, or those mourning a loved one. The artists featured include:

• Anna Rathkopf (Bay Ridge) – Photography capturing the raw emotional journey of illness and caregiving
• Benjamin Lindsay (Crown Heights) – Hand-carved woodblock prints celebrating memory and place
• Cindy Zaglin (Park Slope/Gowanus) – Bold mixed media and paintings shaped by survival and self-expression
• Claire J Saintil (Midwood) – Intimate photographic vignettes of Brooklyn life and loss
• Ellie d’Eustachio (Flatbush) – Whimsical textile street art with emotional and communal roots
• Elyse Neiman Seiter (Carroll Gardens) – Handmade ceramics and shibori-dyed garments inspired by creative rebirth
• Jon Rossi & Patricia (Fort Greene) – Upcycled candles born from love, loss, and shared resilience
• Julia Kirtley (Crown Heights) – Reflective mixed media cityscapes born from a healing journey
• Kylie Brown (Flatbush) – Watercolor tributes to personal and community landmarks touched by grief
• Rachel Goldsmith (Brooklyn Heights) – Sculptural paintings and bioplastic art embracing imperfection and wonder
• Vicky Xu (Williamsburg) – Vibrant mixed media illustrations honoring joy, energy, and community
• Gabrielle Napolitano (Park Slope) – Curator and exhibiting artist; daughter of a celebrated art director and photographer who lost his battle with prostate cancer at age 58

This exhibition invites viewers into a shared space of remembrance, resilience, and artistic expression. Many of the works are available for purchase, with affordable handmade pieces that make art more accessible and personal. Join us in honoring the strength and stories woven into the fabric of our Brooklyn community.
