Local artist **Hannah Shillito** has drawn over 100 Brighton women for a new seafront gallery to raise awareness for[ **Survivors’ Network**](https://survivorsnetwork.org.uk/?ref=scenemag.co.uk), which aims to reduce sexual violence and its impact on survivors’ lives through counselling, advocacy, peer support and group work as well as training for professionals.

Hannah , the colourful artist behind **Hannah Shillito Art**, says lockdown has actually been the reason for the women she has drawn coming together in order to share their inspiring stories while having their portrait done. A Facebook post in the **Brighton Girl city network** asking for muses for her art resulted in over 100 volunteers coming forward for a chance to be drawn.

Hannah said: *“While we’ve been locked up in lockdown it has been hard to feel creatively inspired… and more than that it has been hard to feel like part of a community.*

*“The Brighton Girl network has provided us with that and more, and I have made so many inspiring new friends as well as allowing my art to take off in ways that I never imagined – with a new gallery owner seeing my art and exhibiting it and the charity Survivors Network reaching out and becoming involved too.”*

Hannah Shillito’s **Brighton Girls series exhibition** will take place with a private view and launch party at **Broken Arrowz Gallery**, Madeira Drive on **May 22, 2021** (​date subject to change depending on lockdown legislation)​. Donations to Survivors’ Network will be encouraged, and prints and originals can be bought with a percentage going to the charity. There will be drinks, a raffle and entertainment from other Brighton Girl singers and artists!
