CREATE included in 2010 “Visions of Global Peace” Calendar
The art project, titled “Profiles in Peace” was created for the Global Art Project for Peace in 2009 at Spokane’s First Night Celebration on New Years Eve. Holiday celebrants were
encouraged to make a hand print and/or a profile silhouette and these were then used in a multi-panel collage which was assembled at Create and shipped to a Global Art Center Exchange Partner in China.
After a lengthy period choosing art from the thousands of art pieces included in Global Art
Project’s art bank, Create’s project was chosen to be reproduced on the inside front cover
of the calendar. The calendar is available for purchase on Global Art Project’s website at www.globalartproject.org.
