What is the Memory Project?
What is the purpose of the project?
How did the project start?
How many art students are involved?
Who are the children that receive portraits?
How many portraits does each child receive?
How do the kids react to the portraits?
Do the kids also get to make something for the art students?

It is very important to us that the kids who receive portraits also have a chance to create drawings or write letters to send back to the art students who made their portraits. This type of exchange helps to create a more meaningful experience for all involved. Additionally, many of the kids find just as much pleasure in giving as receiving, and they are therefore proud to give something of themselves to the art students who made their portraits (see our image gallery for examples).

How do we get involved?
