SHE Project benefits Saving Grace By Helen Schmidling Correspondent In some circumstances, women may have no place to turn for help: no friends, no family close by, no mentors, no job, and no resources. In Bend, Saving Grace, a wom- en9s emergency shelter and support center, is often the proverbial <last straw.= To drive home the mes- sage, 25 Central Oregon art- ists have created collages around a phrase starting with or focused on the word <SHE &= that will be sold to ben- efit Saving Grace. For the past two months, the artists have worked on their proj- ects, some crafting their own <SHE= phrases that reflect both the hopelessness of the situation, and the hope that comes from help. From December 2 to 31, the art of the SHE Project will show at Good Day Café at Bedouin, 143 E. Hood Ave., Sisters. Owner Harmony Thomas will feature four of the pieces in an online auc- tion, December 2 through 4, through Instagram (#Sisters. bedouin) and Facebook (@ sistersbedouin). For the entire month, all of the pieces will be for sale at Bedouin, start- ing at $35, to benefit Saving Grace. During the open- ing event, Thomas said she would also feature a raffle for a $200 Hobo purse, and sale of T-shirts and other items, all in support of Saving Grace. Her goal is to raise $2,000 for the nonprofit. Sisters artist Kit Stafford is coordinating this art event. <All of the SHE projects were created or inspired from a quote or phrase in an effort to stop violence against women,= she said. <SHE &= begins or factors into the thought as each artist created the piece.
