The Blue Bench Presents
The Fifth Annual RISE Survivor Art Show
Please be advised that RISE contains work depicting sensitive themes of sexual violence which may be distressing or triggering to some attendees.
Since its inception in 2022, RISE has become more than an event; it is a cornerstone of our community's commitment to fostering awareness and support. Through vibrant artworks and powerful expressions, RISE creates a sacred platform for survivors to reclaim their narratives and shatter the pervasive silence surrounding sexual violence.
