Each year, the focal point of Violence Transformed is an exhibit of works in varied media held at the Massachusetts Statehouse in Boston and scheduled in concert with the annual Victim Rights Conference of the Massachusetts Office for Victim Assistance. The exhibition draws the attention of government officials and the general public to art and artists as crucial sources of societal and community transformation. In 2012, the centerpiece exhibit of Violence Transformed will again be held in Doric Hall on the second floor the Massachusetts Statehouse, April 16-27, 2012.
