Teal Tuesday
Join us on April 7th for Teal Tuesday in support of Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
We’re inviting everyone in our community to wear teal to show support for survivors and help raise awareness. Together, we can spark conversation and show support.
Snap a photo in your teal and tag us on social media, we’d love to see our community come together for this important cause!
Keep an eye out as Duluth’s Enger Tower and Aerial Lift Bridge will be lit up in teal: visible starting 30 minutes after sunrise and again 30 minutes before sunset.
Denim Day
In 1999, Denim Day began after the Italian Supreme Court overturned a sexual assault conviction, claiming the survivor’s jeans were so tight that she must have helped remove them. An argument rooted in harmful victim-blaming.
In response, people around the world began wearing denim as a visible stand against these myths and in solidarity with survivors.
This Denim Day, April 29th, we invite you to wear denim, start conversations, and stand with survivors.
Snap a photo in your denim and tag us on social media!
Opening Reception: May 7th 5pm-6pm
May 4th – June 27th
Zeitgeist
222 East Superior Street Duluth, MN 55802
Each year, YWCA Duluth showcases artwork created by girls, women and gender-expansive folks and invites the public to an opening reception to celebrate this work that symbolizes the joy each artist finds in their gender(s). This year we’ve partnered with YWCA Duluth to display survivor artwork created during the weekly PAVSA Art Therapy Group.
Another addition to this year’s show is a community art project titled “The Elephant in the Room”, hosted by Rachel Gilbertson from Art of Presence. Participants will be invited to write words or short phrases on a large canvas representing harmful messages they have received because of their gender identity and return to splatter vibrant paint over the canvas, using different colors, tools, and shapes. Rachel will complete the artwork by painting a portion of an elephant’s face emerging from the layered words and splattered color. The elephant symbolizes the “elephant in the room” — the unspoken realities connected to gender that are widely felt yet often left unacknowledged.
