The Digital Art & Photography Club has teamed up with the non-profit organization The Memory Project to create portraits of children in the country of Pakistan. The Memory Project is a unique initiative in which art students create portraits (drawings, paintings, digital art) for children around the world who have been orphaned, abandoned, neglected, or otherwise disadvantaged. To do this, student artists receive pictures of children who are waiting for portraits. The artists then create the portraits, & we coordinate the delivery of the portraits to the children.
