Having glimpsed the abyss–culturally, politically–many artists are forging a path ahead with great optimism and are making peace not war. Some of the work in this series is, indeed, an overtly political cry to halt violence. Other series artists approach the idea of peace from an individual perspective–creating a sacred sense of well-being that illuminates our humanity. Some reach across political and artistic boundaries to collaborate with others with a sense of humor and a desire to reflect the good and the beautiful in human nature and the world around us. What springs from our engagement with art is a redemptive force that gives us power to re-make our world anew. Join us for this series and see how artists are pointing the way forward with hope, with imagination and with courage.
