The Hear Us NOW Exhibition confronts the pervasive issue of child sexual abuse by highlighting the profound and lasting impact it has on survivors and their larger community.  Through the powerful voices of those who carry this trauma, we demand justice for survivors and a safe future for all children.

The Hear Us NOW Exhibition will take place in Fall 2026 in New York City.  The show will also be an online / archived exhibit.

I'm Roxanne and I've been wanting to organize a show like this for over a decade.  I'm a survivor - and far too many of my loved ones are as well.  I'm an artist and this is me doing what I can to put an end to child sexual abuse.  But, I'm just the seed planter and I hope to have many hands and hearts nurturing this project along with me.  Maybe even you?

Everyone can participate!  And in many different, but equally important, ways. 

Firstly, survivors and their allies are invited to create art on the subject of the impact of child sexual abuse. For more details, see the Call for Artists, which will be issued soon.  Sign up for Artists' Updates to stay in the loop.

Volunteers are also greatly needed to make this event all that it can be.  Please visit the volunteer page to learn about all of the ways you can make a difference with your time and to sign up to lend a hand.

And lastly, donors are going to help bridge the gap on needs that labor alone cannot cover.  Check out the donor page to make a donation and to find out more about how your money helps.

All of the artwork within the guidelines will be accepted into the show.  This is an inclusive, not exclusive, exhibition.  There is no jury. 

Due to size limitations, it's possible that not every piece will be shown in the live exhibition in NYC.  But every piece will be included in the online show and archive.  And every single piece is an important piece of the story we are telling.
