For any survivors interested in participating in an upcoming art event, please read the following information!
WE ARE LOOKING FOR ARTISTS…
I wanted to share information about a very profound event – the 18th Annual SASS (Sexual Abuse Survivor’s Art Show); The SASS is a multi-dimensional project featuring the art, music, poetry etc. of sexual and domestic violence abuse survivors. The show offers a safe space for survivors to exhibit the creative works they have completed as a part of the healing process and provides a culturally and socially enriching experience for the public.Now in its eighteenth year, SASS is an annual showcase of the healing power of art for survivors of abuse and is implemented through FEGS - L.I.F.E (Living in Fair Environments) Programs. In the past we’ve been fortunate to display artwork from all over the world.
For any questions, please feel free to contact me (Holly Beck) at hbeck@fegs.org or call 631-264-2915 x302. For artists’ agreement please see our website: www.fegs.org/sasshow - any questions please contact me.
