The Latest! Memory Portraits 2011

"Justyn" by Erik WeberThe (no name) Art Group Strikes Again!

(no name) artists create portraits for disadvantaged children living in the United States

Purpose of Memory Portraits

“The Memory Portrait Project is a unique initiative in which artists create portraits (drawings, paintings, graphic design, etc) for children living in challenging situations. Given that children who have been abandoned, neglected, abused, or orphaned usually have few personal keepsakes, the purpose of the portraits is to provide them with a special memory of their youth and to help honor their heritage and identity.”

The concept of this project was based on The Memory Project.

The portraits were delivered in the Spring 2011. The recipient is a non-profit charity/children’s home that will remain unnamed in order to respect the privacy of the children. If you wish to learn more, please contact us.
