What is The Clothesline Project?

The Clothesline Project is a way to help people face the brutal reality of personal violence against women in the community and start to heal the hurt. The project brings together survivors of all forms of violence or supporters of victims/survivors to design T-shirts as a testament to their experience. These deeply personal expressions are then hung on a clothesline for public display to air the issue of violence in our homes and communities. We recognize that males are also affected by domestic violence (as witnesses or victims when they are boys and as victims when they are men). Therefore, we do welcome their participation should they wish to use this project as a medium to display their story and engage in the healing process.

For many survivors, making a shirt and finally seeing their story hang in unison with the stories of others allows them to own their pain and express their anger. The purpose of the Clothesline is:

To allow survivors to heal with dignity through artistic expression and community support.
To educate the community on the extent of violence close to home.
To raise awareness of the impact violence has on women, families and society as a whole.
To motivate action against violence.

All supplies provided free of charge!

Come join us for a fun evening of therapeutic painting!
