Art raises awareness about child abuse

Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center (DCAC), the only agency of its kind fighting child abuse in Dallas County and serving more than 8,000 people each year who have experienced the devastating ramifications of child abuse, announces a new art exhibition featuring both regional and national artists at NorthPark Center — Be Bold. Be Bright. Be Brave. The new exhibition, located on Level One in between Neiman Marcus and Dillard’s, will run through Sept. 22, raising awareness for the issue of child abuse through a variety of artwork. The exhibit previews 20 of the nearly 75 regional and national artists who have donated art to DCAC’s annual Art For Advocacy event scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 25. Over the course of its history, the event has raised more than $1M for DCAC and the clients it serves. For more information about the life-changing work at DCAC, visit dcac.org. — Emily Walsh
