HERMITAGE — Lilly Oncology on Canvas, an art exhibition honoring the journeys traveled by millions of people affected by cancer worldwide, will be on display Aug. 10 through Aug. 21 at the Womancare Center of UPMC Horizon, 875 Hermitage Road.

Lilly Oncology on Canvas began in 2004 as an international art competition for those whose lives had been touched by women’s cancers. People were invited to use art as a means of expressing the struggles and successes in battling the disease.
