Our artists created these portraits using a variety of styles, approaches, and mediums to reflect the diversity and individuality of every one of the souls depicted.

Our exhibitions blend these unique styles and personalities into a single collective artwork that forces viewers to confront what we have lost and to inspire empathy and action in the fight to end gun violence. Our participating families and friends of victims of gun violence have been extremely kind and open in allowing us to portray their loved ones in our exhibitions.

Our project began in Philadelphia, PA, in 2016 and our exhibitions have featured talented, generous, artists throughout the years.

This year we are showing three separate exhibitions—one traveling in the city of Philadelphia, one in the state Pennsylvania and one in New Jersey. As the Souls Shot Portrait Project has expanded over the last pandemic-challenged months, we have included participants from across our country.

Thank you for taking the time to view our exhibitions.
