Dettore will be featuring his pop art pieces along with large-scale gallery edition
paintings of vintage Vogue magazine covers, in addition to his interactive artwork
to promote the youths in the Lifeworks program. Each piece of artwork portrays

LifeWorks in ways that show them the importance of embracing life, recognizing
and pursuing their talents, and experiencing meaning despite their struggles.
