. . . AND BEYOND
Art can assist with social healing
and memorials are public gestures to acknowledge
and validate the heroism and suffering met by those
who face profound adversity.
From this perspective The Child
Abuse Survivor Monument Project established a Survivor
Monument Foundation as a permanent charitable organization
to support and promote the objectives of "Reaching
Out". Into the twenty-first century, a Survivor
Monument Foundation would carry on the legacy initially
established by the millennium Child Abuse Survivor
Monument Project.
Documentation and summarization
of the experiences, challenges and learning of The
Child Abuse Survivor Monument Project is a valuable
asset to pass on to future artist and community
groups who wish to artistically deal with the concerns
of child abuse.
The Survivor Monument Foundation
will have long term responsibility for the care,
promotion and exhibition of the original Child Abuse
Survivor Monument Project Quilt Works.
