Last Sunday, I was hired to run a program at the local library. I proposed to run a Global Art Project for Peace.
http://www.globalartproject.org/
The outcome, is a piece of art, in this case a quilt, that will be hung on display at my local library before it is exchanged with someone else in the world.
From the website:
Participants create a work of art in any medium, expressing their vision of global peace and goodwill. The art is displayed locally in each participant’s community. Global Art Project then organizes an international exchange by matching participants—group-to-group and individual-to-individual. The exchange occurs April 23-30 biennially, resulting in thousands of people sending messages of Peace around the world at one time—visions of unity simultaneously encircle the Earth. The art is sent as a gift of global friendship and exhibited in the receiving community.
I am putting the quilt together now!
