This year the JSerra Arts Magnet Program's Drawing and Painting students have partnered with The Memory Project to create portraits for the children of Ukraine who have been displaced from their homes. The Memory Project is a youth arts organization that promotes intercultural understanding and kindness between children around the world.

The intention is to use art to reach a distant destination: a kinder world in which all youth see themselves in one another regardless of differences in their appearance, culture, religion, or circumstances.

Below is a sample of the works of art that viewers can see in person outside of Room 1101 (in Building 1).
