A Window Between Worlds is a national nonprofit using art to heal the emotional wounds of child abuse and domestic, sexual and interpersonal violence. Through creative expression individuals recover a sense of renewal and power. Their images of hope, survival and strength educate the public and become "a window between worlds" for survivors taking steps to change their lives. Since 1991, AWBW has provided creative expression as a healing tool for over 112,000 battered women and their children in crisis shelters, transitional homes, and outreach centers throughout the United States. As AWBW steps into a new tomorrow of creativity and healing, the organization is called upon to meet the highest demand for its services since their inception. By offering comprehensive training and ongoing support to domestic violence programs wishing to use art as a healing tool, AWBW builds the capacity of shelters to offer art as a meaningful resource to survivors of trauma.A ten-year-old child recently shared with us during an art workshop, "My artwork makes me think, feel and smile through my pain. Art is art. It's never wrong. That's what I love about it."
*Guests will have the opportunity to meet many of the artists and support AWBW's national programs by adding works by prestigious artists to their collections.
*If you have questions regarding the art prior to the March 9, 2014 Artists' Reception at James' Beach, please email Cheryl Bookout at cbookout@awbw.org.
