The bras have been shown previously at the Latah County Fair and other local events and businesses, but this is their last show. After the exhibit ends June 12, the bras will be auctioned off to fund annual mammograms for women who cannot afford them. The project was co-organized by Terry Johnson-Huta and Wendy Lawrence of Moscow. According to a brochure about the exhibit, Johnson-Huta and Lawrence were inspured by an art bra calender that was sold to raise money for breast cancer research. People interested in creating their own embellished bra still may submit a bra to the            collection.
