HEADLINE: A Journey to Healing: Art Exhibit Empowers Survivors of Sexual Violence

St. Petersburg, FL, March 21, 2024 – Suncoast Center presents Art Heals – The Journey to Healing art exhibit on April 13th, 2024 from 5:00pm – 9:00pm at Tully-Levine Gallery in the Warehouse Arts District at 515 22nd Street South, St. Petersburg, FL 33712. Art Heals is a powerful exhibit featuring artwork created by survivors of sexual violence as part of their healing process. The exhibit brings community awareness to the sexual assault services available at Suncoast Center, which is Pinellas County’s certified Sexual Assault Center and is accredited through the Florida Council Against Sexual Violence.

Survivors tell their stories through creative artwork using a variety of media. Creating art about their experiences is therapeutic, instils hope and serves as a strong reminder of human resilience. The event is free and donations are appreciated – all proceeds go towards trauma services at Suncoast Center.

“Everyone deserves to have a happy healthy life. We want everyone to know that help is available if you or someone you know has suffered a sexual assault, please reach out. So often I hear from survivors that getting the help they needed after crisis gave them healing. Recovery happens.”, said Barbara Daire, CEO Suncoast Center.
