Visual Art displays are back at the Price Center via two new gallery shows opening this month at the downtown community center. “Old Things, New Meanings,” a five-person Pop-Up Show, debuted in the newly renovated Garden Room this past Saturday, and “A light at the End of the Tunnel,” a new online show, debuts on the Center’s website Thurs., Oct. 15. Both shows feature the work of local artists and most of the art is available for purchase.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and is an excellent time to talk about living with breast cancer. Breast cancer diagnosis and treatment can affect all aspects of one's being and life.

So how can one maximize quality of life and well-being from initial diagnosis through survivorship?
