How it works

Murals for Peace is a collaborative arts project in which a group of people work together to paint and collage a symbolic work reflecting the community’s desire to overcome a negative issue being addressed. This unique tool brings awareness to a wide range of social issues by envisioning positive solutions and sparking innovative actions. Each of the participants creates one or more pieces of the collective work, most importantly a unique leaf expressing their artistic vision of peace, as well as other elements such as birds, stars or butterflies to complement the mural. Individual pieces are then combined into a collage and fitted onto the overall image, the tree of choice, atop the earth in space, to create an uplifting and inspiring finished piece.

The Impact We’ve Made

Create Peace Project has painted seven large-scale murals in the past five years.  We have worked with groups as small at 25 students to as large as 360.  We can work with any age group to create a lasting beautiful work of art with your community.  Our focus is on inspiring and uplifting our youth, empowering creative freedom, confidence and self-expression that supports positive messages, beautiful art and joyous feelings of positive self worth.  We work to emphasize collaboration and community enrichment through our interactive painting experience.[/mt_two_third_last]
