Red pants with black lettering hung from the wall. The red against the white walls intrigued me to walk closer. I approached the pants to discover I could actually read them. I realized I was reading someone’s true story. It touched my heart, as if I heard the voice speaking from the pants. I walked away telling myself, “I have to meet the artist behind this project.” It was Pamela Alderman at the beginning of her MFA program. Today, I am a board member working alongside Pamela with Healing in Arts. It has been a pleasure planning behind the scenes and watching projects, plans, and goals come to fruition. I am overjoyed to see what Healing in Arts provides for others locally and internationally. I believe the world without art is just, BLAH. Kameko Madere
More Red Jeans Needed
We are still collecting jeans for the Red Jeans Redemption project. If you would like to express your story of sexual abuse anonymously by decorating a pair of red jeans, contact us. The decorated jeans will become part of an awareness art exhibit that educates the public and promotes restoration and hope for survivors. Art can be part of the healing process, for both artist and viewer.
Healing in Arts creates art experiences to build hope, care, and connection in under-served communities, including special needs kids, incarcerated teens, sex trafficked youth, First Nations people in Canada, veterans with PTSD, and the elderly.
