Vision Statement

 Souls Shot Portrait Project envisions a community free from gun violence.


Mission Statement

The Souls Shot Portrait Project uses the transformative power of art to bring an end to gun violence. Artists, working with families, create portraits to honor the souls shot.  By exhibiting the resulting artwork to the public, we invite the community to recognize what has been lost and to take action to end gun violence. 

Values Statement

The primary values of the Souls Shot Portrait Project are:

  • Respect for all lives affected by gun violence

  • Belief in art as a powerful tool of advocacy and transformation

  • Diverse representation among leadership, artists, and victims of gun violence

  • Commitment to artistic integrity and quality
