๐Ÿ’œ Honoring Roberta Richman: Artist and Advocate

In recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we are honored to celebrate Roberta Richman and her lifelong advocacy for women.

Through her art and decades of dedication to creating opportunities for women, Roberta has made a lasting impact on our community. We are grateful to partner with Hera Gallery to bring Landscapes by Roberta Richman to the Domestic Violence Resource Center.

This beautiful collection invites us to pause, reflect, and connect through art while helping create a space that inspires healing, creativity, and hope.

๐Ÿ“ Landscapes by Roberta Richman is on view at DVRC through May 1, 2027. A portion of artwork sales will directly benefit DVRC and support survivors of domestic violence.

Thank you, Roberta, for your vision, your advocacy, and the difference you continue to make. ๐Ÿ’œ

A safe place. A fresh start. A path forward. ๐Ÿ’œ

For survivors leaving an abusive relationship, finding a safe place to live is an important step toward rebuilding.

Our Transitional Housing program provides eligible survivors and their families with stable housing and support as they work toward greater independence and a future free from abuse.
Because finding safety is just the beginning. Everyone deserves the opportunity to build a life where they can feel secure, supported, and hopeful.

Learn more about our programs and how you can support survivors in our community.
