Empowering healing through art in Chicago

Awakenings Art was Orbit Media’s 2024 Chicago Cause Winner.

Awakenings is a Chicago-based nonprofit that provides art-focused healing spaces for survivors of sexual violence. Through workshops, resources and community events, they offer a trauma-informed, non-clinical approach to recovery that embraces creativity and self-expression.
