Program Description
The Memory Project is a unique initiative in which students create artwork for children facing substantial challenges around the world. We begin by matching you with children on our waiting list and emailing their photos to you. Advanced art students can then make portraits for them, while novice art students can make "identity art" to honor their unique identities (examples at memoryproject.org/instructions). Next, you mail the finished artwork to us, and we deliver it to the children. The artwork is meant to serve as a beautiful and meaningful memory of childhood, though the deepest purpose of our work is to unite youth around the world in a supportive and positive way.
