Mad Art: Friday, 1 September 2017

The Mad Art Gallery will kick off the Umali and MSA Awareness exhibit from 7-10 p.m., Friday, Sept. 1. Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) and local artist, Rey Umali, will showcase artwork during the month of September in hopes of raising awareness of the rare disease.

Umali is a Saint Louis artist who returned to painting after being diagnosed with MSA in September 2015. All proceeds from the sale of Umali’s artwork will be donated to Defeat MSA, an organization dedicated to raise awareness and find treatments for the disease. The event is free and open to the public. In addition to Umali’s artwork, the MSA Shoe will also make an appearance at the opening. The MSA Shoe is a tool that has traveled the world to raise awareness of MSA, increase support for MSA patients and raise vital research dollars.
