January 11 Sex Trafficking Awareness Day

To bring awareness to an industry that must end, Haymarket Center Board of Directors along with The Maker's Space, sponsored a fund raiser.  There was an art auction from artists who donated their work under the theme "Hands of Hope."

Clients that are in the Haymarket Center Recovery Unit, participated in a reflective art event, where they molded their hands in wax to say something about their recovery.  They then spent time writing a narrative about what their hands were saying about this part of the recovery journey.  These hands were displayed on the tables, along with a booklet with their stories.  Their stories represented them well at the fund raising event.  For more information how you can get involved and donate, go to www.hcenter.org

The next paintings were guided layers of emotions, perhaps a lie we believed, and the truth that we know, all represented in colors and layers.  Some of the pictures from the evening are below.
