This is year two of this Pittsburgh Center for Arts and Media Long Term Residency Project in partnership with POWER (PA Organization of Women in Early Recovery) continues to help the women in POWER House programs to experience life in recovery with new tools to help heal and build confidence while developing real-life creative arts and entrepreneurial skills.  The goal is to allow the women to experience the creation of art from the conception of an idea, immersing one’s self in the process, creating a product, and selling/exhibiting work to the public.  This encompassing project is designed to provide a safe and encouraging space to enhance and improve the women’s lives during their journeys of recovery.
