About A Window Between Worlds

————

A Window Between Worlds (AWBW) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to using art to help end domestic violence. Since 1991, AWBW has provided creative expression as a healing tool for over 74,000 battered women and their children in crisis shelters, transitional homes, and outreach centers throughout the United States.

By providing an environment that promotes healing, art workshops help
women and children to develop a renewed sense of hope and possibility
that profoundly impacts future decisions regarding the direction of
their lives, their relationships, and how to stay safe. Art empowers survivors to transform how they view themselves, allowing them to see past the abusive messages they learned from their batterers and rebuild their self-confidence.

The AWBW Windows Program is available to any agency or organization seeking to implement art as healing tool for survivors of domestic violence. We invite you to learn more about our programs and to join us in using art to empower survivors and to break the silence surrounding domestic violence in our communities.

For further information on our programs please call us at (310) 396-0317 or e-mail [email protected]. For other domestic violence resources, see our Domestic Violence Resource List.

How YOU can get involved:

We have a wide range of volunteer opportunities and events to accommodate your schedule. Jobs can include art project prep, creative and artistic tasks, database entry, general office help, program assistance and event support.Most opportunities are located in our warm and friendly office which is conveniently located in Venice, CA.Come support our healing art programs!

A note from A Window Between Worlds:

Thanks to your support we are just $847 shy of our 20th Anniversary goal of $50,000 to meet the need for our healing art programs.

–

You can still help make this goal a reality by contributing to our online campaign or sharing it with your friends, family and colleagues who would like to become the catalyst for hope and healing in the lives of women and children survivors of domestic violence.

–

Please continue to spread the word about A Window Between Worlds’ healing art programs. We hope to thank you in person at our Artworks for Healing event on February 8th at the Skirball, or at any of the upcoming events listed below.
