Unfinished Work is 
an arts project to benefit cancer research.

Cancer kills 10 million people every year worldwide,

many of whom are artists.

Playwrights,

musicians,

writers,

painters,

and coders.

Many of these artists leave unfinished works behind.

Paintings,

compositions,

sculptures,

scripts,

and programs.

You could say the lives of these works 
ended with the lives of the artists.

What if we could extend the life of the work, 

and help cancer research extend the lives of all?

Unfinished Work 
aims to pair these orphaned 
pieces with living artists

who will “finish” these pieces in surprising ways.

For example, an unfinished novel

could be finished as a composition.

An unfinished screenplay

could be finished as an app.

An unfinished poem

could be finished as a photograph.

These “finished” pieces will be displayed at an Unfinished Work gallery, and auctioned to benefit cancer research.

An interactive gallery will make the unfinished works available to visitors for research, or to try completing themselves.

And finally, we will launch a line of “finished works” featuring pieces that 
can be reproduced in small quantities 
and sold online, with all proceeds to cancer research.

The goal is not to add to the late artist’s body of work,

or to imagine how they might have 
completed their pieces.

Instead we hope to demonstrate that when we 
fight to eradicate cancer,

we fight to extend the act of creation.

We fight to extend beauty.

We fight to extend life.
