ArtBra KC Information

ArtBra KC is a unique and fun art auction that celebrates the bra as an empowering symbol of triumph over breast cancer, and as a work-of-art that can benefit those breast cancer patients just beginning, or still on, the journey. Seventy work-of-Art Bras will be auctioned to benefit the Missys’ Boutique Patients in Need Fund. These one-of-a-kind Art Bras will be designed and created by family & friends of survivors, local artists, celebrities and volunteers. Fashion show models are breast cancer survivors and patients; their runway costumes will coordinate to the theme of the Art Bra they model. Approximately 25 other pieces of art and items will be intermingled for the silent and live auctions. Guests will enjoy food served by 6-8 of Kansas City’s best restaurants, and will end the evening dancing to the sounds of Nervous Rex.

The Missys’ Boutique Patients in Need Fund helps those patients that are uninsured or underinsured benefit from the boutique’s cancer-related services and products.
