About this Event
Art as Healing: Honoring Women’s Stories is an intimate community gathering hosted by Womanity Portrait Foundation, celebrating the healing power of art, storytelling, and human connection.
Taking place during Women’s History Month, this evening brings together artists, survivors, and community members to reflect on how art can serve as a tool for emotional healing, resilience, and self-reclamation.
While the stories shared center women’s lived experiences—particularly breast cancer survivors—the event is open to all who believe in the power of art to heal, connect, and inspire.
