A Community Call for Galleries and Artists!
The purpose of this art exhibit is to increase awareness about child abuse in our region and to nurture a stronger community of caring by increasing understanding and response to this social issue. It is our hope that through this visual representation, it will connect us all at a deeper level in ways that cannot be put into words, Restoring Hope.
We are looking for art in a wide range of forms that represent themes of
Hope, Healing, and Justice.
