Kelly Kellar. Kelly is a survivor of sexual trauma as a child. She is the Peer Wellness Support Leader for BSP. The idea for this
__________________________________________________________________________________
exhibit came about during a conversation with Kelly's peers. Many survivors have expressed their concern about the lack of
__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
visibility their art has because it can be mistaken for too provocative or dark in nature. This type of art is frequently turned down
__________________________________________________________________________________
or not allowed by conventional exhibitions. Insides Out is meant to highlight survivors’ voices and feelings through media of their
__________________________________________________________________________________
choosing giving them the exposure and recognition that they deserve.

The Beautiful Strength Project is a peer support group that uses a holistic approach to

families. Our main goal is to help end the cycle of violence for our participants and for
future generations.
