Host an Exhibit

The Art of Surviving exhibit is meant to raise awareness in a public setting, and to encourage individuals and communities to think about and discuss the nature and effects of sexual violence, the spiritual aspects of violence and healing, and what we can do to end sexual violence.

Affiliate and Sexual & Domestic Violence Advocacy members of the Action Alliance, including Sexual Assault Crisis Centers, campus sexual assault programs, local coordinating councils, and others may reserve the project to display locally.

Please contact the Virginia Sexual & Domestic Violence Action Alliance at info@vsdvalliance.org for questions or complete and submit the PDF host form below to reserve the exhibit.
