Aplomb stands for self-confidence, self-assurance and poise; especially under the most trying circumstances.
Through collaborative artistic expression, The Aplomb Project pays tribute to those who have experienced life-altering trauma. Contemporary portrait artist, Danielle Festa, captures the resilience of trauma survivors, gifting the resulting oil portrait to the voluntary participants to celebrate their courage and strength.
Throughout the year, the Aplomb Project sustains survivor support and empowerment with a healing centered approach to creative and mindful events and prompts via the Aplomb Community open to survivors and allies.
