Prostitution is said to be the oldest profession in the world. The reality is that prostitution is the oldest ongoing abuse. “Unmade Bed,” an exhibit of visual art, tackles the heart response to the sex slave trade. We hold in our hands and hearts the ability to stop this inhumane practice.

Participating artists from western Washington invite the public to come respond to this powerful topic and exhibit at WICA in Langley from Oct. 7 through Oct. 9. The art ranges from photography to encaustic to video to fiber by artists Debra Calkins, Christina Fairley-Erickson, Jan Fisher, Julie Gautier-Downs, Mary Hilkey, Barbara Matthews, Marie Plakos, Diane Reardon and Cheryl Weisz.

“Unmade Beds” will be on view from  from 4 to 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 7, 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 8 and 12:30 to 2 p.m. on Sunday Oct. 8.
