The Perception Project
The Perception Project is a non-profit devoted to providing survivors of trauma with services that take on creative forms as expressive outlets and serve the local community. Between an artist/survivor collaboration, the muse provides a personal story, and the artist creates a masterpiece showcasing the muse's strength and inner beauty. These works are showcased through art exhibitions designed to promote awareness, then gifted to the muses as a symbol of their strength.
