Renowned artists Michael Ballezzi and Natalie Erdelt of Studio Incamminati were deeply moved when they met Pastor Matt Rosenfeld of Davisville Church and discovered the impactful work he was doing to support Ukrainian refugees. The resilience of the Ukrainian community inspired them to undertake a powerful artistic endeavor, organizing three intense painting sessions with 40 artists and 10 families. The objective was to create compelling portraits of the refugees to generate funds and raise community awareness.

In collaboration with Rowan University’s documentary team, led by Jonathan Akass and supported by Jada Ali, Joe Pidgeon, and A.J. Amoroso, the team captured the stories of the Ukrainian refugees in poignant video interviews conducted on the same two days. These interviews offer a profound insight into the struggles and triumphs experienced by these resilient individuals.

The culmination of this artistic and documentary effort, named the “What We Face Project: Portraits and Stories of Women and the Ukrainian Refugee Experience,” will be proudly showcased at the 365 Foundation in Lansdale, PA, starting February 9th, 2024, at 7:00 pm.

The exhibit will feature the poignant portraits created by Studio Incamminati artists, insightful video interviews conducted by Rowan University’s documentary team, moving sentiments by Studio Incamminati artists and families, and a special guest performance. Tickets for the 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. Direct donations to the Davisville Church Fund can be made at [http://davisville.org/refugees](http://davisville.org/refugees).
