VIDART 02 On behalf of the Nueva Vida Board of Directors and staff, we want to welcome you to this second edition of VIDART. This edition includes the participation of 70 artists with 92 artworks from 16 different countries. This fundraising auction will help Nueva Vida provide cancer support services for underserved Latinas throughout Baltimore, MD and the Washington DC Metropolitan area. At Nueva Vida we believe in the healing power of art and the effect that it has in our lives. Now more than ever, the positive effect of healing via art is needed during these unprecedented times. As Picasso said: “Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life�.
Gloria Elliot y Lidia Carnota Nueva Vida founders.

NUEVA VIDA Nueva Vida was founded over twenty-one years ago to provide cancer support services among the underserved Latino community needing equitable access to state-of -the art cancer care and survivorship support in the Washington DC metropolitan area. Thousands of Latinas have benefitted from the organization’s services that run seamlessly through the cancer continuum, namely: outreach/education, preventive cancer screening, patient navigation and psychosocial and mental health support services. During this unprecedented time, in the midst of a health emergency, Nueva Vida stepped in to provide essential services to its cancer survivors like food assistance, COVID-19 education, and personal protective equipment. In addition, it has delivered a series of stressreduction programs to the general Latino population, in an effort to improve the health of a community whose members belong to the lowest economic strata, are deemed essential employees and are bearing the brunt of the COVID-19 related casualties.

DEDICATION The VIDART Art Auction and Digital Catalog is dedicated in honor of all cancer survivors, especially the Nueva Vida survivors and those that have been infected or perished as a result of contracting the Coronavirus. These survivors have served as a source of endurance, strength, resiliency and hope in the face of all the challenges imposed by the pandemic. Their victories offer daily inspiration to Nueva Vida.
