Survivors' Art Exhibit opens May 1

April 20, 2006

The Survivors’ Art Exhibit opens May 1 in “the gallery” of the Reitz Student Union.

In its tenth year, the exhibit is a unique showcase that underscores the survivor’s journey, from initial victimization to resolution. Through a variety of media: painting, drawing, watercolor, photography, poetry, and sculpture, survivors create personal stories of domestic violence, family violence, sexual abuse, sexual assault, child abuse, spiritual abuse, and other forms of personal violence.

An opening reception will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. May 5. The exhibition continues through May 12.
