Pine Crest Upper School Artists Create Portraits for Children for “The Memory Project”
July 14th 2026
Pine Crest Upper School art students recently participated in “The Memory Project,” a global youth arts initiative that promotes intercultural understanding and kindness through portrait-making.
Students created portraits and life illustrations for their pen pals in Honduras.
Watch the children receive their portraits here.
This is the second year that Pine Crest students have participated in the project, which connects young artists with children around the world facing significant challenges. Through this exchange, students not only used their talents to make a meaningful impact but also developed a deeper appreciation for global connection and empathy through the arts.
The Memory Project began with the idea of creating handmade portraits as lasting keepsakes for children in orphanages. Its mission has expanded to reaching youth around the world, sharing kindness across cultures and encouraging young artists to use their creativity as a force for good.
