About the Project

The Art Start Portrait Project is a multimedia exhibition and platform for Art Start youth to portray the complex narratives about their identities, asking the world to see them as they choose to be seen.

In spite of the pandemic, the 2020 project saw Art Start participants from Milwaukee and New York City. The portraits were exhibited in our first digital exhibition as well as an outdoor and gallery exhibitions.
