Fresh StART 2021

Fresh StART is the signature fundraising event for the Northwest Arkansas Women’s Shelter. Our party boxes are back so that you can join our event from the comfort of your own home with an evening of music, hors d’oeuvres, and drinks centered on an auction of works from regionally renowned professional artists and artisans and art pieces donated by our clients from our in-shelter art program.

Incorporating art as a therapeutic process to help adults and children connect with their emotions, develop self-awareness and a voice has become a key component of the work with do with domestic violence and sexual assault survivors. Many times the emotions that come from domestic or sexual violence cannot be expressed with words. But through paint and colors, paper and wood, survivors are able to express themselves as they work their way toward healing and wholeness again.
