An art exhibit featuring anonymous art from survivors of sexual assault is on display at the Clausen Museum in Petersburg. It’s called “Art by Survivors for Survivors” and is a joint effort between WAVE Working Against Violence for Everyone and the museum.
Hillary Hunter works with WAVE. She met up with KFSK’s Angela Denning at the museum to explain the details of the show. She says April seems like the right time for the exhibit because it is sexual assault awareness month.
