ARTHOUSE.NYC presents The HERO ART PROJECT, portraits honoring healthcare workers from around the world who have lost their lives while fighting COVID-19 and selflessly saving the lives of thousands of their fellow citizens.
The HERO ART PROJECT pairs members of ARTHOUSE.NYC’s artistic community with family members of doctors, nurses and other healthcare providers who died from COVID-19. Our artists have created multi-media portraits of these medical heroes to celebrate their lives, sacrifices and legacies. Each family is able to select the artist and art style that they feel most represents the spirit of their loved one and to collaborate with the artist to capture their soul.
The goal of the HERO ART PROJECT is to bring about love and healing throughout our global communities, honor these heroic souls to give back with love and art.
Inspired by the very public nature of the screens, our international art collective wanted to give back to the heroic communities that have been on the frontlines. Hence, the HERO ART PROJECT was conceived, featuring emerging and established artists from all corners of the world. This public tribute is especially poignant, as many of these families were not allowed to have public funerals or have the physical comfort of their loved ones during the lockdown.
The HERO ART PROJECT has been exhibited at The Big Screen Plaza and LinkNYC kiosks in NYC, Ballyhoo Media Boats in Miami, FL, Lamar Billboards in Las Vegas and Southern California, City Winery in The Hudson Valley and in the windows of ARTHOUSE.NYC’s current home at Ideal Glass Studios, 9 West 8th Street in NYC. Currently, we have completed almost 75 portraits. COVID has taken the lives of almost 1,000 healthcare workers worldwide. We will continue matching families with artists to create more portraits of these brave individuals.
