Peace Art Partnership
In September 2009, the Peace Flag Project began working with several other RI groups to establish the Peace Art Partnership. Our partners are Steve Pennell (URI Feinstein Providence Campus Urban Arts and Culture Program), Rebecca Siemering (Providence Art Windows), Jodi Glass (RI Commission on Prejudice and Bias), and Deanna Camputaro (Arts, Communication, and Teaching Academy of Central Falls High School.
“Art opens us up to new ways of thinking about peace….it helps us to see things a fresh way,” says Pennell. The Peace Art Partnership will mount peace art exhibitions in September 2010 in support of Providence’s annual September celebration of the UN International Day of Peace. The exhibits will take place in downtown Providence at several venues such as the URI Providence Arts and Culture Program and Providence Art Windows. The 2010 exhibits will run throughout September and will be free to the public.
Local professional artists and artists of all ages, community arts groups and peace groups are invited to submit work. Steven Pennell can be contacted at spennell@etal.uri.edu
Peace is not something you wish for; it’s something you make, something you do, something you are, and something you give away.
