Upon entering the OMNI Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate, visitors are immediately struck by the grand, light-filled lobby, where soaring ceilings and contemporary chandeliers create an atmosphere of refined elegance without pretension. The design aesthetic seamlessly blends modern luxury with subtle Florida influences – think warm earth tones, rich wooden accents, and tasteful palm motifs that never venture into kitschy territory. Natural light streams through floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the public spaces, while comfortable seating areas feature plush furnishings in sophisticated neutrals with occasional pops of deep blues and greens that echo the surrounding golf courses and water features. The overall ambiance manages to feel both impressive and welcoming, striking that perfect balance between upscale resort and approachable retreat, where business travelers can feel equally comfortable closing a deal in a suit or unwinding poolside in casual wear.

This year, Shared Hope International is honored to deepen the impact of the Survivor Art Exhibit by incorporating it with the Just Like Me Campaign (JLMC)—an initiative amplifying the voices and experiences of survivors who were criminalized for their own exploitation. JLMC reminds us that behind every statistic is a story—of a boy, a girl who was just like me, just like you, just like someone you love.
The exhibit offers a sacred space for these stories to come to life through color, texture, and expression—honoring the resilience of those who have walked through injustice and now use their voices to transform it. These works are more than creative expressions; they are acts of advocacy, healing, and powerful resistance against systems that failed to protect.
In partnership with JLMC, this year’s exhibit invites JuST Training Conference survivor attendees to engage not only with art, but with a movement—one that insists on visibility, restoration, and justice for all survivors.
Conference attendees who identify as survivors are invited to submit your art for consideration. There is no cost to participate in the exhibit, but a few guidelines apply. Learn more and submit your artwork for consideration here.
