Introducing The Domestic Violence Awareness Through the Art Community Collaboration Toolkit

We’re excited to share a new resource designed to support community partners, arts organizations, advocates, and local leaders: the Domestic Violence Awareness through Art Community Collaboration Toolkit. Created by the Governor’s Advisory Commission on Women in partnership with the Carnegie Museum of Art and the Women’s Center & Shelter of Greater Pittsburgh, this toolkit is modeled after their successful collaborative work using art to raise awareness and engage communities around domestic violence. It offers creative, community-centered strategies for using art to deepen understanding of domestic violence’s impact and foster healing and connection across your community. Whether you’re planning events, educational activities, or collaborative art experiences, this resource provides practical guidance and inspiration to help elevate voices, spark dialogue, and engage audiences in meaningful action.

Art has long been a powerful tool for social change, helping people express lived experience, build empathy, and create shared meaning. By bringing together artistic expression and cross-sector collaboration, this toolkit empowers organizations and community members to interrupt silence, challenge stigma, and support survivors through inclusive, creative engagement.

Get started today—explore the toolkit to discover ideas, best practices, and tools you can adapt in your community to amplify awareness and inspire action.
