Survivor Art Exhibition

March 21 through May 17, 2025

Tabor Gallery

This exhibition is sponsored by Women in Leadership Great Lakes Bay Region and was organized by the follow agencies: McDowell Healing Arts Center, Sexual Assault Center of Child and Family Services of Saginaw, Shelterhouse, Studio 23/The Arts Center, Bay Area Women’s Shelter, and Underground Railroad.

Opening Reception
Friday, March 21, 5-7 p.m.

The reception is free and open to the public.

Healing is a journey and for some, that journey is taken through or with art. Where words may fail us, art has the magic of expressing even the most difficult topics. In recognition of April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month, your regional survivor service agencies have partnered together to bring you a community art exhibit. Through this exhibit, survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking can share their stories and raise their voices through art.
