Call for Art 2010 Art Right Now!
Throughout all of history, artists have not only documented the values and customs of societies, but their art has healed lives,
spirits, and bodies by giving hope even when faith and dreams seem far away. By sharing their art and spirits of hope,
artists will partner with Southeastern Family Violence Center to heal damaged bodies, spirits and lives;
will offer hope to our families; will plant seeds of new dreams for victims of domestic violence; and will enrich the lives of
those who will take home an original work of art. We will all celebrate the joy and hope available through fresh and
diverse media in the visual arts while benefiting Southeastern Family Violence Center's needs for women and their small children.
