Sexual Assault Response Service of Southern Maine will be holding a Sexual Assault Awareness Month Survivor Art Exhibit and Reception during the month of April at USM. SARSSM is calling all survivors who would like to show case their art in the exhibit. The submissions can range from a variety of topics of your choosing! Some examples might be the #MeToo Movement, survivor empowerment, and social justice issues. We are prompting folks to take a creative liberty in regards to the art piece they choose to make/show. All artists can wish to remain confidential, however, anonymity will not be an option, as the folks organizing this event will need to have contact information for the artist. Are you an artist, who also identifies as a survivor of sexual violence? Are you a survivor of sexual violence that would like to submit an art piece? Head to the link below and fill out the form!
