Global Art Project for Peace - April 2024
The Global Art Project is an international art exchange for peace which has involved 160,000 participants in 95 countries on seven continents. 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.
