ABOUT THE DIGITAL ART GALLERY

Our gallery features art in the theme of heroism. All artworks in our commercial free, age-appropriate Gallery are contributed by professional and student artists as well as curated from art institutions around the world.

MY HERO Project seeks unique works of art by professional and student artists that celebrate the lives and courageous acts of heroes who work to promote change by positively affecting others and their communities.

Completed artwork should reflect thoughtful ideas to show how the selected hero demonstrates heroic action and creates positive social change.
