Tree of Hope
Join us in creating the “Tree of Hope” Mural for The Center for Safe Futures!
We’re excited to invite the community to take part in a meaningful art project. Our new mosaic mural will symbolize unity, resilience, and hope, connecting survivors of abuse, families, and communities. Composed of approximately 500 individually painted tiles, this eight-foot by eight-foot mural will be a centerpiece of our new facility.
