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.
