Removing the Mask: Let's Talk about Child Sexual Abuse (CSA)
Art Show at MSAC thru Nov. 7,
🌻🌻Artist Reception & Tabling during Art Walk!🌻🌻

Pat Harrington's paintings--on canvas and wooden bowls--tell her powerful story of surviving CSA, demonstrate the use of art as a healing tool, and call the public to action to prevent harm to children. The show will remain for another month after Art Walk, and MSAC is open M-F, 9-4.

🌻Nationally, up to 1/3 of girls, 1/4 boys and 1/2 gender-nonconforming youth are impacted by child sexual abuse by age 18. A content warning is advised when viewing this art show, and resources are available near the exhibit as well as at all four related events happening 10/19 to 11/6 (two more at MSAC, one at TW Wood), where trained advocates and social workers will also be present. Please join us. Facebook event: https://fb.me/e/1xWlE3ziO. To hear more about the artist's story, see video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxRoUXIqw2g. 🌻

🌻Mosaic Vermont is Washington County's sexual violence response and prevention organization, and a partner of MSAC. The community is encouraged to call Mosaic's 24/7 Helpline if support is needed: 802-479-5577. 🌻
