Portraits for NHS Heroes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Portraits for NHS Heroes is an art project held in the United Kingdom during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic.

Artist , at a loss as to what to paint during lockdown, put out an offer on Instagram on 4 April, saying he would paint a free portrait for the first National Health Service (NHS) worker to reply:[1][2][3]

I'm offering a free oil portrait to the first NHS frontline worker to DM me, I will work in lockdown from a photo you can provide me with. You get to keep the oil portrait and when the restrictions are lifted we can have an exhibition of all the portraits. Tag any artist who you think might want to participate and any NHS key workers you think deserve a portrait. #portraitsfornhsheroes
