β€œThe visual arts have the power to recall and retell unsayable traumas, paving a potential path toward recovery.” – Elaine Scarry, The Body in Pain

Join us

The powerful visual representations, created by over 40 artists, will transcend words, creating a profound connection among attendees and ultimately driving the message of “Restoring Hope” to its fullest potential. The artwork, representing a variety of mediums, will come together to express the themes of Hope, Healing, and Justice.

An exciting opportunity awaits the attendees as they will have the opportunity to purchase these remarkable artworks, with proceeds contributing to the First Witness CAC Restoring Hope Capital Campaign. By investing in art that signifies healing and resilience, each purchase will serve as a testament to the community’s commitment to protecting and supporting the most vulnerable among us. Art will be available for purchase beginning the 21st, in person or online at our virtual gallery.
