Artist Bobbie Crews currently has her work entitled "The Survivor Project" on display in the City County Buidling on the Main level.
Crews created "The Survivor Project" as a response to the women who have survived abusive relationships and have chosen to move on with their lives. She worked on the collection of paintings as she listened to the survivors share their stories.
"The Survivor Project," was first displayed at Child & Family Tennessee's Founding Families 2012 - The Art of Possibility luncheon and fundraiser last spring and has also been on display in the Knoxville Family Justice Center.
