The Clothesline Project

These t-shirts are created by the clients at the Sexual Assault Center in Nashville as a way to give voice to their personal experience. Displayed together, they are the Clothesline Project, a nationwide art project started by Rape Crisis Centers since the 1970s.

Rachel Freeman, Clinical Director at the Nashville Center, shared, “We worked with a professional artist who lead Clothesline art workshops, and it was an amazing opportunity for our clients. She gave them the ability to be more creative. Creating their t-shirt art was a very powerful tool for them to express the pain and the healing in a very positive way that words sometimes cannot.”

SAC received a grant from the Metro Arts Commission to exhibit the Clothesline Project throughout the month of April at the Downtown Public Library, the Frist Center for the Visual Arts, and Cheekwood.
