Create Peace Project In The News!
This video highlights the creation of a 660 sqft mosaic mural. The project was led by Ross Holzman, Create Peace Project, Executive Director and created with more than 300 K-8th grade students, 100+ community members, along with staff and parent volunteers. This mosaic was created in March of 2024 and partially funded by a Community Challenge Grant.
