Clothesline Project

Clothesline Project

Clothesline Project is the Signature Program offered by the Women’s Center. The Clothesline Project is held during October, which is Domestic Violence Awareness month. The Clothesline Project is a visual display of shirts with graphic messages and illustrations that have been designed by women survivors of violence, or by their friends or families. The Clothesline may also contain shirts made to honor women who have died as a result of violence. The purpose of this project is to raise awareness of the impact of violence, to celebrate a woman's strength to survive, and to provide another avenue for her to courageously break the silence. We invite all members of the University Community to make shirts. During CP shirts and art materials are provided during open t-shirt making sessions. Made or unmade shirts can be donated at any point during the year.
