here to download the October ArtWalk card! Center
for Contemporary Arts invites everyone to come downtown and participate in
ArtWalk. Chalk Walk-sidewalk chalk will be provided at the Center for participants
to show their talent or just have fun along the sidewalks. Join us and a few artist
members & local college students to decorate the sidewalks. Think Pink- information
regarding Breast Cancer will be passed out during ArtWalk to help spread the word
about Breast Cancer Awareness. Abilene Reporter
News: “The battle against breast cancer is one no woman should have to fight,
but there are nearly 2.5 million breast cancer survivors living in the United
States, and almost 200,000 more women will be diagnosed with the disease this
year alone. During the October “Think Pink” ArtWalk, the Abilene Reporter-News
will donate a portion of all sales to the Abilene Cancer Services Network to honor
the strength and determination of these women and the friends and families that
support them, as well as remember those mothers, sisters and friends who have
been lost.” ACTIVITIES AND ENTERTAINMENT
