Arts Education and Peace Promotion for Students, Schools and Communities around the World.

Projects We Facilitate

The Peace Exchange

The Peace Exchange is an international exchange of art and messages of peace. In this one-to-one exchange, students are asked to artistically express their vision of peace as well as share a message about what peace means on their personal peace card.

Community Murals

Community Mural making is a perfect way to engage a large group in the creation of a large-scale work of art. Three project types provide groups the opportunity to design, vision, and create an uplifting and beautiful mural together.
