A PIECE of PEACE
I am puzzled by folks who dislike the mildest of foods like potatoes. But, I realize that taste and opinion vary from person to person. Peace is something I’ve never known anyone to dislike. While opinions vary as to how we should achieve it, everyone seems to agree that it is worth pursuing. This call is another chance to say it with art… Peace Now.
Check out this Call for Entries for Peace Now at Galeria 6 in Mexico in benefit of Wings of Peace International. This is a great way to get an international show on your resume and spread a little peace. Take a look…
CALL for ENTRIES: Peace Now
Peace Now is an effort to show individuals how they can integrate meaningful acts of peace into their everyday activities. Peace is not just a concept that is ‘out there’ but a possibility and a way of being that exists within each of us. In fact, for true peace to reign, we all must be participants. A broad interpretation of the concept of “Peace Now” is encouraged for submissions to this show.
