About this Event
We’re peeling back the layers—of pain, of expectations, of resilience. Through unapologetic art, music, and visual movement storytelling, Stripped invites us all to step into our naked truths and reclaim our light.
OUR PURPOSE
The purpose of this fundraiser is threefold:
Raise Awareness + Celebrate Strength through Art – Shine a light on the often-silent struggles of domestic abuse survivors and individuals affected by mental health challenges. Through the empowering mediums of visual and performance art, we aim to honor the resilience of humans who have turned pain into power, and invite the community to stand in solidarity with them
Fund Vital Services – Our goal is to raise $10,000 to provide direct financial support to Sarah’s Way Foundation (501c3), allowing the organization to continue offering essential services, including counseling, safe housing, mentorship programs, and wellness resources.
Art Advocacy - We are showcasing artists from a multitude of creative disciplines, offering them space (free of charge) to network, exhibit and sell their artwork. 30% of art sales will be donated to support the mission at S.W.F
