Battered Women’s Support Services is the featured charity of Art!Vancouver 2017, an international art fair featuring reputable galleries and artists from across Canada and around the world May 25 – 28, 2017.

This collaboration has inspired a number of artists to donate their work to BWSS to generate funds for the critical services and programs thousands of girls and women access every year throughout British Columbia, Canada.

In our work at BWSS, we acknowledge and use art for its many healing properties. Art can be the truest and most powerful reflection of the human and societal experience with strong transformational forces.

When you bid on a piece, please know you are giving to an organization that is strongly committed and determined to end violence against women. At BWSS we work to change the current reality, the reality of every 5 days a woman in Canada is killed by her male partner. To #KNOWMORE http://www.bwss.org/knowmore/ or @endingviolence.
