Survivors Overcoming Adversity Art Show

Survivors of human trafficking are some of the most resilient and talented people. The SOAP Project invites you to submit your art to our first ever Survivors Overcoming Adversity Art Show.

Funds raised from the sale of art pieces will help The SOAP Project with our program costs for the Wellness Weekends (Retreats), Second Wind Support Group, Emergency Services, and the Cheri Crider Dental Assistance Program.

The SOAP Project will reimburse the artist for the shipping of their pieces after the sale. If pieces do not sell on site, they will be sold at an online auction.
