CALL FOR ({V})ART
One Billion Rising …
“WE ARE RISING!”
As part of the sixth annual V-Day Petaluma campaign to raise awareness and end violence against women and girls, we are encourging local artists to enter 2-D art that is a positive expression of women; their resilency, their sensuality; an expression of what the V-Day movement means to them; why they are RISING; or artwork relating to women’s empowerment and prevention of violence against women and girls. Artists are encouraged to visit V-Day or V-Day Petaluma for an understanding of the movement. V-Day Petaluma is hosted by Guided To Safety.
To promote the campaign we will be staging entries at
Worthy Of Love Furnishings from February 1 through March 2.

V-Day, founded 15 years ago by playwright Eve Ensler, is a worldwide movement to raise awareness and end violence against women and girls. The 6th Annual V-Day Petaluma, a campaign that includes “ONE BILLION RISING”, as well as a production of “The Vagina Monologues”, will benefit Guided To Safety, a nonprofit offering community education and resources for the prevention and awareness of domestic violence, teen dating violence, and sexual assault .
