LANSDALE, PA — The 365 Foundation Inc., a non-profit organization committed to empowering women, today announced its inaugural art exhibit at its new office in Lansdale, Pennsylvania. This event, scheduled for February 9, 2024, marks an exciting milestone in the Foundation’s journey.
Natalie Venezia, the founder and CEO of the 365 Foundation, states that the new office offers ample space for art exhibits and podcast production, enhancing the Foundation’s ability to serve its mission. The grand opening will showcase an impressive collection of works highlighting the resilience of local Ukrainian refugees.
This art exhibit signifies the initiation of the monthly Women In Art series and events at the 365 Foundation, marking its first public welcome to the Lansdale community.
Renowned artists Michael Ballezzi and Natalie Erdelt of Studio Incamminati were profoundly inspired by the work of Pastor Matt Rosenfeld of Davisville Church in supporting Ukrainian refugees. Their meeting sparked an intense artistic endeavor involving three painting sessions with 40 artists and 10 families, resulting in compelling portraits of the refugees.
In conjunction with Rowan University’s documentary team, led by Jonathan Akass, the stories of the Ukrainian refugees were captured in touching video interviews. These narratives provide deep insight into the challenges and victories experienced by these resilient individuals.
The culmination of these artistic and documentary efforts, titled the “What We Face Project: Portraits and Stories of Women and the Ukrainian Refugee Experience,” will be proudly displayed at the 365 Foundation starting February 9th, 2024, at 7:00 pm.
The exhibit will feature striking portraits created by Studio Incamminati artists, insightful video interviews from Rowan University’s documentary team, heartfelt expressions by Studio Incamminati artists and families, and a special guest performance. Tickets for this transformative event are available on the 365 Foundation website.
Portraits from the exhibit will be available for purchase or donation, with all proceeds directly contributing to a fund for resettling refugee families managed by Davisville Church.
