Daily Performance Art To Highlight Domestic Violence Month In Atlanta

ATLANTA, GA -- As October, National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, speedily approaches, art is set to imitate life in a daily performance piece taking place throughout the city of Atlanta. The performances, called "#3everyday," will begin next month from Oct. 1 to the 31st.

Three women will perform daily to draw attention to and commemorate the fact that three victims die every day in the United States due to domestic violence, the initiative says.
