facingthegulf: October 2012

BP Facing the Gulf Portraits in Oil is a community arts project documenting the experience of empowering Gulf Coast residents to paint portraits of the Gulf Coast to enter into the BP Portrait Award.

Working with local artists, art schools and galleries we'll be running portrait painting ateliers in the most disadvantaged communities on the Gulf Coast.

Follow the story of the workshops and the paintings from endangered Gulf Coast communities to the UK National Portrait Gallery where the annual BP Portrait Award is held.
