Art Blog Early Spring - Memory Project Portraits and More

Image
We are proud to announce that our Memory Project portraits are now on display! The original portraits have just been delivered to the Philippines but these prints are here for you to enjoy.  The Memory Project is a charitable nonprofit organization that invites artists to help cultivate global kindness by creating portraits for children around the world who have faced substantial challenges, such as violence, war, extreme poverty, neglect, and loss of parents. Participants create portraits to help children feel valued and important, to know that many people care about their well being, and to provide a special childhood memory in the future. Since 2004, more than 130,000 portraits have been created for children in 47 countries. Here at Abintra, 24 more were recently created. Our artists were matched with children of the Philippines and each made portraits of their selected child.  You can view a beautiful video of children receiving the portraits  here .
