ART IN THE PARK - SATURDAY, MAY 22, 2021

On Saturday, May 22, 2021, Women’s Resource Center will host Art in the Park. This inaugural event will be held in the Ivey Arboretum/Sally Fox Park in Hickory- where the Women’s Resource Center House is located from 10:00AM- 2:00PM. Art in the Park was originally set for May 30, 2020 and was postponed due to the pandemic. This event will serve as our signature fundraising event for 2021. We believe that a spacious outdoor event is the best option to keep everyone safe, and we are hopeful that most everyone will have received the Coronavirus vaccine by this time.

Artist’s booths will be safely spread out, and social distancing and face covering guidelines will be followed.  The Artist Registration period has ended - please contact our office for additional information.

Guests will also enjoy local art, a silent auction, food trucks, live music and more!

For well over thirty years, Women's Resource Center has served the community by advocating for the personal empowerment and economic self-sufficiency of women and families. Our commitment to improving the overall quality of women's lives remains as strong today as it did back when we began.

Many women and their families in our area struggle to manage basic needs even in the absence of a global pandemic. This can be attributed to any number factors- unemployment/ underemployment, fleeing the home quickly due to domestic violence, or various other financial emergencies. However, during these most recent unprecedented times, we have seen a surge in the number of women seeking assistance from Women’s Resource Center. So many more in our community are now suffering due to job loss and furloughs, leaving countless families with the daunting task of making ends meet.

WE NEED YOUR HELP TO MAKE THIS INAUGURAL EVENT A SUCCESS!
