Perry + Carlson is hosting "Helping Hands," an art exhibition of life sized portraits drawn by children in Ukraine. Helping Hands is an activity developed by The Novi Community (www.novi.ngo) with the support of a clinical psychologist that helps children in war-torn communities develop emotional awareness and identify who and what helps when traumatic events occur. The exhibition is made of 18 life sized portraits that show the impact of the activity as videos play beside the artwork of the event taking place - making this exhibit immersive.Armed conflict often isolates and traumatizes children, leaving them disconnected, vulnerable, and struggling with the emotional toll of violence. Novi's goal is to ensure these children are healthy, learning, and building friendships within their war-torn communities, providing them the support and care they need to heal and thrive. Novi equips caregivers, restores education, provides nutritious food, and fosters community belonging through trauma-informed programs for children in war-torn and high-stress environments.
This special exhibition is being held to raise funds for Novi and contribute to restoring childhoods disrupted by war. A suggested donation of $35 accepted at the door.
Wine, refreshments and appetizers will be served.
