Join Portsmouth City of Sanctuary and VISTA for an inspiring celebration of art, female resilience, and

delicious food!

Coinciding with the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and Girls and the ensuing 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, this event is a fundraiser for the HAVEN Women’s Group, supporting our vital work with women in the local community. HAVEN supports women who have experienced gender based harms such as FGM, Sexual exploitation, trafficking, honour abuse and domestic violence.

The event will begin with an art exhibition exploring the theme “Women and the Things We Hold” – an exclusive collection by local artist and HAVEN attendee, Diana Evseeva.

This is a wonderful opportunity to explore a series of stylised portraits and take part in an auction of the artworks. The portraits represent local women from a diverse range of cultural backgrounds.

Following the exhibition, guests will be served delicious food prepared by Portsmouth City of Sanctuary’s Kitchen of Hope.".

Cash Bar Available.
