An art exhibit designed to bring awareness to the domestic violence opens Saturday at Lockside Art Center. October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
The exhibit, entitled "Voices of DV," features nearly two dozen works from six people whose lives were touched by domestic violence. The pieces -- from painting, to drawings, to photos and mixed media -- will touch on a range of emotions and experiences by those who have been confronted with domestic violence in some form in their own lives.
The public is invited to come share in their strength and courage while taking in the inspiring artwork they have created.
The exhibit, which runs through Oct. 31, will have an opening reception from 2-4 p.m. Oct. 25 at the Lockside Art Center, 21 Main St., Suite 208.
As the artists explain, "In many cases, the cycle of abuse relies on secrecy … so please come help to shine light on this important topic."

The nationally acclaimed Missoula Children’s Theatre (MCT) returns to the Kenan Center for a 13th season to present an original musical version of Aladdin with a cast of 50 or more young performers from the community on Saturday.
There will be two performances held at the Historic Palace Theatre -- at 3 and 7 p.m. All seats are $7. Children ages 2 and under are free.
A group audition will take place at 4 p.m. today at the Kenan Center Taylor Theater for children enrolled in grades K-12. Children do not need to have previous stage experience, but enthusiasm is a plus. The audition lasts approximately two hours.
In this version, Aladdin journeys to find a magic lamp in a Cave of (not-so-great) Wonders. Along his way Aladdin seeks answers and advice from wise Genies, a powerful Sultan, and his own Mother to find a way to meet the Princess. However, even with the lamp in hand, Aladdin will have to learn that it takes more than a wish to make a good impression. Full of memorable characters, from lost Penguins to talking Palm Trees, this is an adventure worthy of 1,001 laughs.
Missoula Children’s Theatre is the nation’s largest touring children’s theatre and has been touring extensively for 30 years, from Montana to Japan. MCT’s mission is “the development of lifeskills in children through participation in the performing arts.”
For more information, call the Kenan Center at 433-2617 or go to www.kenancenter.org.
