The clients and staff at SAGE include artists
working with various materials and mediums. We are building
a SAGE Arts Collective to showcase and celebrate visual, performance,
and literary art by members of the SAGE community.
SAGE also hosts creative writing workshops on a regular basis,
where SAGE staff members and clients can gather to share readings,
select topics for writing, and write! Participants may choose
to share their work, or maintain it as a private expression.
Art and writing an be powerful pathways to support healing
and insight, and survivor art is very powerful. Artwork and
writing allow the artist to engage in both self-discovery
and self-advocacy.
In survivor-sensitive programs, it's very important to provide
a variety of opportunities for expressing the realities of
the client's day to day life or creating art that helps them
with what they're struggling with at the moment. Art and writing
can also allow for the representation of trauma and experience
that may be difficult to express in conversation.
To exhibit work or arrange a performance by artists and writers
from SAGE, contact us! Please keep in mind that SAGE takes
extra care to ensure the safety, confidentiality, and informed
consent before exhibiting the art or performing work by survivor
artists. Please be prepared to provide us with detailed information
about your event or venue. For more information on CSE issues
or alternative healing modalities, visit the Information Center
