December 9, 2009 Atlanta, GA – The third annual See Through Souls window exhibit closed this week with record setting window sales and donations for the Women’s Resource Center.  The event, featuring an unprecedented twenty-six interpretive windows, opened November 14, at Picaflor Studio.

“It was nothing short of a great success even in the midst of an economic downturn,” said Jenn Nelson, See Through Souls founder and organizer, “An impressive sixteen windows sold over the seven-hour silent auction, while local musicians entertained a capacity crowd.”

Proceeds were equally divided between the artists and the Women’s Resource Center. The third-year exhibit saw an increase in window artists, sales and ultimately the “give back” donation.

Musical guests included a rare performance by Tag Team and friends, Walk From the Gallows, Los Buenos, What Happened to Your Fire Tiger, TheDolldaze, Cassavetes, Chickens & Pigs, Corey Pallon (Pistolero), Kathryn Humphrey, Wes Ables, The Good Graces, Ramon Wals with DJ Spy Magnet and DJ Press Play.

The Women’s Recourse Center is a non-profit organization focused on ending domestic violence against women. WRC offers a safehouse and supportive services for survivors of domestic violence in the Atlanta, GA area. For more information please visit: www.wrcdv.org

See Through Souls is a collective effort and features more than thirty artists who utilize and repurpose recycled windows collected from urban rehabilitation, taking place throughout Atlanta.

Proceeds from sales of these unique and artistic window creations and a food drive admission will go towards Women’s Resource Center.

"See Through Souls is a collective energy of artists, musicians, businesses and community. We wish to reach out and bring lives together to build communal collaborations and conscious networks all while creating a vehicle to give back to others" shares founder Jenn Nelson."

“The 2007 inaugural See Through Souls was one of the most successful and surprising events at the ISP space, the reception is open to everyone and is sure to be another great exhibit of urban interpretation,” said Eric Holder of ISP.

“See Through Souls 2008 also proved to be a great success. Window entries increased as did the sales of windows and when it was all said and done, STS donated over $500 to the 2008 charity Hosea Feed the Hungry Homeless and a matched donation to the venue,” said Nelson.
