“Overcame: Art of the Abused Child” Art Exhibit in Main Hall

From April 29, 2024 to May 4, 2024 in Main Hall, Barbara Sinatra Children’s Center will feature their travelling art exhibit titled “Overcame: Art of the Abused Child” for tourist and commuters.  The exhibit showcases 84 pieces of original art spanning decades from child abuse survivors.  The exhibit is meant to be a deeply powerful, immersive pop-up experience that demonstrates how these brave survivors overcame trauma and found a sense of healing thanks to art therapy.

In July 2022, “Overcame: Art of the Abused Child” made its debut in Vanderbilt Hall inside Grand Central Terminal in New York City, followed by its second exhibition at the Petersburg Area Arts League (PAAL) in Petersburg, Virginia in November of 2023. The Center plans to bring the art collection to additional cities, as it continues its tour throughout the U.S., spreading awareness of this devastating epidemic.

The exhibit will be open to the public April 29 – May 4 from 9am – 7pm EST within Union Station’s Main Hall and all are encouraged to visit.  To learn more about the Barbara Sinatra Children’s center and the “Overcame: Art of the Abused Child” exhibit click here.
