Join The Bee Foundation for their first annual Aneurysms & The Arts event at Cosmic Cafe on July 18th. This special event celebrates the works of artists while also supporting brain aneurysm prevention. For many of us art and expression is a pathway to overcome challenges and seek beauty. Many of the artists that will be featured have been touched by brain aneurysms.
