Live Performers Needed!
Are you passionate about art? Do you have a message to share through dance, music, theatre or performance? Contact us to have your voice heard at the 2012 Every Victim Matters youth art show! We are looking for live performances for our Wrap Up Event on April 28th, 2012.
The theme this year is “Moving Forward.” Being a victim of crime can be a life-altering experience. How an individual may chose to move their life forward after being victimized will be unique to the person and the situation. All victims deserve to be treated with compassion and respect for their dignity as they move forward on their journey toward healing.
