The Portrait Project The Portrait Project is an arts-based non-profit organization founded in 2020 by two UF Center for Arts in Medicine alumnae, Cameron Qiao and Grace Lien, uses visual art to promote self-esteem, identity building, and well-being for communities. Their volunteer artists work with participants to create personalized portraits representing one’s collective identity. In addition to portraits, artists also engage in community art projects, such as large-scale murals, and selling artworks to fundraise for local causes.
