Exhibits & Events

This project links fine artists with families or friends of victims of gun violence. The artists meet with the victims' loved ones to learn about the lives they lived. Our goal is to present diverse works that in some way relay graphically, or through narrative, the essence of the person being portrayed.

Our mission is to bring attention to and memorialize the lives lost and tragically altered due to gun violence. Portraits have the unique ability to call out the souls and profoundly affect those who see them.  

We hope that this project will continue to bring some joy and peace to the families and friends of victims and, by bringing attention to the scourge of gun violence in this way, be a call to action to all who see them.  

Church of St. Asaph in Bala Cynwyd, PA, will be hosting the current Philadelphia exhibition through April 14. It will move to Congregation Beth Or, in Ambler, opening on Friday, April 18 in the Olitsky Gallery at 9pm following services.

Portraits from our Collection can be also be seen in exhibition at Rowan College of South Jersey.
