Sexual Abuse Survivors Show (SASS)

Description:

We are looking for artists & hellip;

The Sexual Abuse Survivors Show (SASS) is a multi-dimensional project

featuring the art, music, poetry etc. of sexual abuse survivors. It

offers a safe space for survivors to exhibit the creative works they

have done to heal from their abuse, and provides a culturally and

socially enriching experience for the public.

The primary goals of S.A.S.S. are to facilitate a cathartic healing

experience in the artists/survivors who submit their works of art for

the show, to raise public awareness about the prevalence and

devastating effects of sexual abuse, and to educate professionals about

the use of art in healing. S.A.S.S. is held at Dowling College in

Oakdale, L.I., and N.Y. The 2006 S.A.S.S. will be in October on the

14th and 15th from 11:00am to 5:00pm with set- up on the 13th after

6pm. F & #8729;E & #8729;G & #8729;S & rsquo; SASS is

attended by child and adult survivors of sexual abuse who submit works

of art to the event as well as those who choose only to attend; loved

ones of survivors; professionals working in the fields of mental

health, family violence and child abuse, drug and alcohol treatment,

art and art therapy, education; and the general community, particularly

those interested in art and/or healing.

Please feel free to copy the enclosed " Save the Date and Call for Art "

and share it with others. All artists must complete a " Call for Art " in

order to participate in the show.
