Artists have also been invited to create original Touchstones that share a united and creative journey of art transforming trauma, much like the touchstones survivors in our programs use as talismans of healing.

Since 1991, A Window Between Worlds has centered their work in the field of domestic violence, providing art interventions for women and their children. Last year AWBW expanded their mission and scope of work to meet the rising demand for their programs across systems of care serving trauma survivors and movements to end violence. Event proceeds launch AWBW into its 25th anniversary year, and ensure their expansion to serve new populations is both sustainable and impactful.
