The O’Neal Cancer Center is the only National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center in the four-state area that encompasses Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas. With its array of clinical trials, precision oncology efforts and continued commitment to outreach efforts in cancer disparities, it is at the forefront of improving cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment.

Lace Up for a Cure will benefit the O’Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center. The proceeds will bring together individuals from the community who have been affected by cancer. Registration is $15 online and $20 on-site. Free parking will be available in the UAB Ninth Avenue Deck at 1602 Ninth Ave. South, Birmingham.

Birmingham Museum of Art
“Embodying Faith: Imagining Jesus through the Ages” is underway through Sunday, April 21, at the Birmingham Museum of Art. The religious art on exhibit served many purposes, from embellishing altars and aiding in private devotion, to educating the faithful and acting as propaganda either for or against the church during the Protestant Reformation.

This winter’s exhibition in the Arrington Gallery traces how artists imagined Jesus through examples drawn primarily from the Birmingham Museum of Art’s own collection. Included are prints, drawings, paintings, sculpture, quilts, flags and books spanning more than 500 years.
