We were so excited to introduce this new event! One of our survivors had this idea and has worked hard to bring her dream to reality. All of the artwork displayed has been made by fellow local survivors. Sales of the artwork went to support survivors and to raise awareness of local human trafficking. Many thanks to Capital Arts for hosting this event and all of the sponsors who have helped make this happen. It was a great success!
