The exhibit will take place at HerSpace, a breast-imaging center in West Long Branch, during Breast Cancer Awareness Month from Oct. 10 through 30, and will raise funds for breast cancer research.

The exhibit is dedicated to Diney Goldsmith, who lost her battle with breast cancer this past March, and proceeds will benefit the new Diney Goldsmith Breast Cancer Research and Education Foundation. Several of her works will be included in “The Art of Survival.”

Artists featured in the exhibit include Linda Ackerman, Alaine Becker, Niki Berg, Kathy Caraccio, Grace Graupe-Pillard, Nanci Hersh, Marilyn Keating, Doreen Laperdon-Addison, Arlene Mollow, Lynn Nordt, Barbara Rachko, Carol Radsprecher, Libby Seaberg, Louise Sharakan, and Chris Twomey.
