STILL I RISE ART EXHIBIT
Surviving Sexual Violence: Voices of Empowerment and Healing
CALLING ALL ARTISTS
Throughout Sexual Assault Awareness Month in April, the Women’s Center’s Rape Prevention Education Program will be hosting a community art exhibit in the Student Resource Building. We encourage all fierce artists, writers, and poets who would like to be part of this exhibit to submit their work in recognition of the strength and courage of survivors of violence, including topics of rape, sexual assault, or abusive relationships.
The intent of this collection is to document and share with the Santa Barbara community the healing process of those who have faced violence, of all forms, struggled, and who find survival in creating. Submissions from underrepresented communities are HIGHLY encouraged as these voices are oftentimes silenced when addressing this topic.
This exhibit will be displayed in the new Student Resource Building from Monday, April 6 2009 through Friday, May 1, 2008. Information regarding opening and closing receptions for this event will be forthcoming.
To participate and submit any works, include the following information:
Artist Name
Website
Mini Bio (4-5 sentences in length)
Art Category/Medium
All submissions should be delivered to the Women’s Center, attention to Melanie Matson, preferably by no later than Wednesday, April 1, 2008. For any additional questions please contact Melanie Matson at Melanie.matson@sa.ucsb.edu , 893-3778, Patty Monroy at pattymonroy@aol.com , 323-203-5077, or Brittany Henry at bahenry@umail.ucsb.edu, 760-662-0307
