Rise Up: Art as Resistance 2025

Share

This April, as we honor both Sexual Assault Awareness Month and respond to recent domestic violence tragedies in our community, art becomes a powerful catalyst for healing, education, and change.

Join us for a powerful evening honoring survivors and those lost to domestic violence. Through poetry, dance, and a symbolic floral fashion show featuring local models who will ignite the way forward, we’ll illuminate warning signs, celebrate healing journeys, and commit to breaking cycles of abuse. In light of recent local tragedy, this event takes on even deeper significance as we come together to transform awareness into action.

In Remembrance: Emily Eirinberg Memorial

Our event will be dedicated to honoring the memory of Emily Eirinberg. In collaboration with the Eirinberg family, we have created a reflective memorial space that celebrates Emily’s life and legacy while raising awareness about relationship violence.

This thoughtful tribute serves as a reminder of why our work is so vital and the importance of coming together as a community to create change. We are deeply grateful to the Eirinberg family for their courage and partnership in this meaningful remembrance.

Together, we’ll amplify voices of courage and create a community where everyone can thrive in safety and respect.
