The Clothesline Project, started on Cape Cod in 1990, features T-shirts decorated with statements written by individuals who have experienced domestic violence or sexual assault. The exhibit will be on display in the high school for this event.

The evening also will include free refreshments and a raffle, and the group will be selling their own T-shirts with proceeds going toward future Take Back the Night programs.
